I knew it was all over many years ago when I worked a 20dB/9 Italian station around Sunrise here in one 160m contest. (1pm in Italy)
I have never applied for DXCC. I know what I worked and keep track of it here locally. I am the only person who really cares what all the numbers are and since the ARRL DXCC program has (imo) become so watered down in the last couple decades there is little reason to ever apply. Be happy with who you see in the mirror every morning and celebrate those around you who are doing it the way that appeals to you. For those that aren't.well, don't concern yourself with them. They don't diminish what you've done. 73 Mike VE9AA Mike - Keswick Ridge, NB, Canada _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
