Well....although I am now age 58....I have 32 years on Top Band...so that
would have  been age 26 when I started chasing DX on topband.....
the Draw to me?.... It was "The Last DX Frontier" so to speak.....its easy to
work DX on 20 meters..... anyone with a decent little tower and yagi can get
100 countries in a couple of weeks....today you can get it on 10,15,20 meters
in almost any single contest.... try that on 160!
