Mike,
That is a very interesting way of looking at this new Xtreme category.
I first took part in CQWW CW 1987 to try and work some new countries for
DXCC - ultimately worked all of 30 QSOs in 48 hours for 30 new ones (WOW).
Till date, due to one reason or other I have not worked XE (Zone 6) -
now, how about a remote station in California to work that elusive one :))
That will take care of my WAZ after 24 years in ham radio!!!
BUT, I would not be legal within my VU2 license conditions - so no remote
station :(
73 de Prasad VU2PTT (also W2PTT).
