You are so right Army. I have never been connected to or used a cluster to
find DX.
K1B asked me to spot him, but I am not set up to do that so I put it on
this reflector. I find DX by reading the DX Bulletins and figuring out when
they should be on the air and will have propagation. Then I get on and
listen a lot. I may miss a few, but with a total of 336 confirmed using the
"old fashion method", I guess I haven't done too bad.
It did "work good" Army and it also felt good to get him on the first call.
If I don't quit replying to you guys I will never get my radio club news
letter in the mail this week. hi.
