Don't ask me how I know this but he claims to have been in EM56 which is a long
way from the east coast. Is there plausibility, perhaps, but from a practical
standpoint the station operated would have to be top drawer to generate that
level score from the heartland.
I struck a nerve in CT ... got an email from N1SFE.

- REALLY?
Maybe he meant ME instead of MO ? Dont they have several remotes for rent in
Maine And looking at N1UR writeup on 3830, looks like he suffered from the flu,
and KO1A didnt beat him by much…..possible ? Probable? Plausible ?
