10 a# = 5505001
20 b# = 294911
30 PRINT (a# / b#)
GOTO 30
the right answer should be 18.666651972968116 but it is not!
According to intel, "The average user is not going to see this thing,
except once in 27,000 years." Seems to me they used a pentium to
compute the 27,000 years! 73 Len WF2V

Bob Cox, K3EST, told me last year they have no point or multiplier value
(they are not licensed by Bosnians). Since the X5 prefix is not recognized
by CT, the QSOs don't count (automatically).

Hi,
The biggest problem (radio wise) with living at higher latitudes
is the poor HF propagation. When the K-index is higher than the
sunspot numbers we're lucky to be able to get out at all.
Large (LARGE!) antenna arrays and maximum legal power will certainly
help but won't work miracles either. For whatever reason the world
was built to favor middle latitudes (climate/propagation/etc.) and
there's not much we can do about it except try twice as hard and be
satisfied with 1/20th the results. Or do like I do and make your own
version of 'spread spectrum': be set up for all bands/all modes and
usually you can find one thats still getting through.
