Great Mark, congratulations!!!
Working a new one on topband is a challenge, and a very exited moment, as no
one on other band. No matter is #50, #100 or #280 DXCC

Asunto: Topband: The blind squirrel finds a nut: RI1ANF
I have made many sacrifices to the TB DX gods: miles of wire, gallons of
sweat, cuts and bruises from undergrowth. I have read many books, purchased
ON4UN twice (revised ed), and listened to the gurus here over several years.
Tonight, I got lucky. Worked RI1ANF, Oleg, on my inverted L at 0345 UTC.
The thunderstorm static subsided just enough to pull his call out. Of
course, it helps that Oleg is a superb operator. Me, I am just lucky.but I
will take it for country #80 on TB.
Thanks to all of you OT's who are so helpful to us newbies and wanna-be
DXers on this reflector. Can't really convey it effectively in an email,
how much I appreciate the encouragement and support.
