[WVDXA] FO/OH1rx 3.796 now simplex

[Clark L. Stewart]

Greg,

      TNX for the tip on FO/OH1RX but by the time I got on frequency, I 
think he was gone.  I saw a spot at 0412 GMT saying he was still there but 
when I listened at 0425 GMT, I heard nothing.  Nothing from him and no one 
calling him.  I heard him some time later with KH7XS but he was not quite 
good enough copy for me to call him.

      I listened to him on 80-M CW last night for almost 3 hours hoping his 
signal would improve but he was so weak I could never hear more than just 
bits and pieces.  At least it gave me some practice on trying to pull weak 
ones out of the noise with the FT-1000MP MkV.

      But, thanks to your email I did managed to work CE1/K7CA on 80-M 
CW.  That goes nicely with my 160-M QSO with him so I can get two 
confirmations now for the price of one!

      CONGRATULATIONS on finally getting your "Top of the Honor Roll" 
award!!!  That is one "heck" of an achievement.

      I thought I had it 17 years ago but the dreaded "Not in Log" kept me 
wanting "just one more."  That was such a blow that I left DX'ing for 10 
years.

      So, I know how hard it is to work (and CONFIRM!) all the 
countries.  You are to be commended for such a fabulous achievement!

      And, good job on working the J5C station on 160-M.  Your story 
reminded me of the Clint Eastwood line, "A man's got to know his 
limitations."  If you know your limitations, you can use them to your 
advantage - as you did.

      Keep up the good work and keep the rest of us on our toes chasing you.
