Hi Barry... it is always nice to see postings from you... Like you... I am #1 honor roll and have to work the new ones... but more important...
It was the journey... and I must be honest... it was meeting people like yourself... classy... dedicated... willing to help others get to the top... that made the journey worth while... It took me 45 years to work them all... and a lot of anxious moments when the signals were fading... and when the DX was 599 to other parts of the country and when it was my turn (while the DX was working by the numbers)... the propagation was down to just above the noise level.. But... it was worth it... Kay, N7KH On 1/27/2012 7:17 PM, Don Berger wrote: > >>> >>> Longevity and persistence pays.

The Cluster and RBN have taken the fun out of it, which for me was the hunt. Nowadays the QSO is pretty much a given, if you just spend the time fighting it out in the pileups. If I didn't care about losing my spot at the TOTHR, I wouldn't bother working the new ones any more, as they are created and put on the air.
