This is an old story, but perhaps it should be retold from time to time. I 
originally saw it in QST some years ago. 
 
There is only one person in the history of DXCC who has worked and confirmed 
every DXCC country, including deleted ones, up until the time of his death:  
W1GKK.  No one can ever accomplish it again because deleted countries are no 
longer confirmable. And the amazing thing is he did it all on one band: 20 
meters. In the roll of DXers, W1GKK stands alone. 
 
He summed up his philosophy quite simply:  Be there when they're there. 
 
History lesson for today.
 
73, Bill W6WRT
