Re working DX in SS: I have been doing SS for quite a few years and, to the best of my knowlege, and according to the rules as published in QST, there is nothing against working DX in Sweepstakes. Yo
Tom, give me a break. You know I often operate SOA. How can you suggest that one guy, trying to operate as much of 48 hours as he can, can compete with 2 or 3 guys who can work in shifts, listen on o
