WVDXA CQ WW DX CONTEST

[Clark L. Stewart]

Dave,

      That's a very good number on 6-M in just 5 years, especially from 
this side of the mountains.  I could have used the 5R myself so maybe we 
need to exchange telephone numbers for the next time the band opens.

      I'm at 101 confirmed on 6-M but have not been able to snag a new one 
in quite awhile.  Missed a new one a few months back (GU) by having my 
power fail just as I was about to call him.  That's the first time that's 
happened.

      You should think about moving down here anyway.  The DX guys are 
great!  Today a lot of us helped Bob, W8QHG, celebrate his 90th birthday 
and wouldn't you know someone brought him a QSL from BS7BS?  That's the 
last one he needs to have them all (including Swains and Montenegro!)  We 
had two ARRL Card-checkers on hand that would have checked the card for him 
if he had filled out the application too.  Great fun!

Clark, W8TN
