Although this was another contest and another time, I could not believe
my ears when I heard both Hawaii and Alaska a good solid s8 to s9 here in
Western North Carolina during the 11/26 CQWWDX test. Worked them both
within 15 minutes of each other with my 100 watts. Already had WAS on
160 (with 100 watts & dipole from NC) but sure didn't do it in one
weekend or even in one year!! Still need 40 more for DXCC but picked up
2 during the 160 DX test. I always remind myself how long it took Stew
Perry to reach 100.
Happy Holidays & Good Propagation
