Good Morning all:
I don't know who "you" are but I must take the time to thank "you" and
hope that you are on the reflector and will read this. This morning at
0935z I was calling CQDX on 1834 (tks Mike for the pep talk) and could
make out no more than the odd dit and dah every time I signed. From 0935z
to 0955z (my sunrise) this station would send his/her call every time I asked
- What dedication! 20 minutes trying to copy an S1 sig with S7 to S9 QRN
crashes and QSB seemed like forever to me as I am sure the sending station
felt as well. Although I was looking for DX (especially ZL3REX as we had
a broken QSO about a month ago and I still need ZL) after 5 minutes of
trying to work this mystery station I decided that whether he/she was the
#1 wanted station on TopBand or a QRP station in the U.S.A. I wanted to
complete this QSO. Unfortunately that wasn't to be. So if you are reading
this thanks for your effort and I will be on tomorrow at the same time and
place looking for you.
I love this band and the challenge it represents!
73 es DX one and all
