[WVDXA] Ducie Red/Greens

[Clark L. Stewart]

Alan,

      Congratulations on 12 Band/Slots.  That's just FINE!

      I would take ANY 10-M Contact with VP6DX but that just won't happen 
running wire antennas.  Glad you snagged them on 10-M as that's much 
tougher than working them on Top Band.

      In looking at the Band/Slot online log, I see that Bob, W8QHG, has 
added one more Slot to his total with a 17-M CW contact.  And, he worked 
the YU8/OH2R station in Kosovo "Just in Case" so he can stay at the Top of 
the Honor Roll.  Nice, Bob.


Clark, W8TN
