[WVDXA] 4W6R

[Clark L. Stewart]

Hal,

      Congratulations on hanging in there and getting your QSO.  As you 
know, if this DX'ing stuff were easy, we would all have 3,000+ on the 
Challenge Award.  It just makes that QSL so much sweeter when you recall 
what you went through to earn it.


Alan,

      I was also up at 0930 GMT looking for FK8CP on 160-M.  No luck for me 
either this morning.  But, just follow my new motto "Never Give Up, Never 
Surrender" and sooner or later you will log him (or you'll snag something 
else that you need!)  I'm thinking a nice full-size, 3-L yagi on 30-M at 
about 100-feet out to be something we all could use - ;>)


Clark, W8TN
