We've had a chance to clean up some gaps/goofs, etc. in the overall
World Record. Through some faulty communication with Dennis Vroom , I
never got the specifics of his record breaking barefoot reception of
VOA Thailand from Grayland back in April. I'd also not yet received
the details of Kevin's wonderful barefoot reception of 3LO in
Melbourne from the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska last month. Normally,
in "Current Records" I'd only be listing the most recently set
distance mark. However, since Dennis was never officially "in the
book," I've shown both he and Kevin here as the Current World Record holder.
Mark C.'s recent analysis of record possibilities from the NE USA
seem to indicate that both the overall Barefoot and Unlimited marks
will stand, at least until next summer's DU season from the
Northwest... unless the South Africans or possibly the DU DXers get
involved in Ultralighting. Here's hoping.
Oh, also, my recent reception of the 1 kW relay transmitter of
Hokkaido Broadcasting Company, JOTS, Wakkanai, Japan on 1368//1287
was also a record in the 1 kW. category, beating Paul Logan's
previous mark by a measly 116 miles. Frankly, I was shocked that the
distance wasn't greater. It turns out that the JOTS transmitter is
the CLOSEST Japanese MW transmitter to the USA. Wakkanai is on a
peninsula that forms the very NW tip of the northern home island, Hokkaido.
Well, here are the current World Records. There have been no changes
in the Western Hemisphere records in some time.... and a goodly
number of them, especially in the Unlimited Category, are very
vulnerable. Its time to get to work!!!
