W3LPL is the only station I know of that has worked a major DX test accomplishing five-band DXCC 160m through 15. Frank has an exceptional station for 160m.
N3QE, an excellent op, operated W3LPL for the Stew Perry, with this in his soapbox: ------ "Very little DX. I worked one DL, one S5, and one OK. Before EU sunrise I worked KH6LC and KH6AT just minutes apart from each other. No KL7 heard. The "EU sunrise" enhancement was confined solely to a little cluster of G/GM/EI and a PA who called in probably after his sunrise." ------ If he couldn't get it from there, very little chance for the rest of us to work a lot of DX. I think that the real winners in this TBDC will be those CA stations who could work dozens and dozens of 12 pointers in that neat 03Z-ish opening, that must have been that quiet not-quite-dark period for left coast where they could hear very well. 73, Guy _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
