Bernie, (realizing I have a QTH advantange most times), I also have
worked DXCC in less than a season. Last year I worked it within a
month (with a kw), but the year before that it took me about 3.5-4
months to get dxcc (90 of them with 100 watts)
Congratulations! You have done very well with your 100w !
(So does Rich/K1HTV I might add....)
I can't be brave enuff to continue to ruff it out on TopBand without
my trusty mla2500 most times, hi hi!
GL on the next 155 !
MIKE/ve9aa, @ 176 countries in 2.5+ years of casual 160m operating.
(I go on feeding/starving binges on 160m, kind of a love/hate thing........)
Love the prop when it's quiet in the winter and can work dj7aa with
less than 1watt, and hate the noisey nights when I can call s9+20db
DX with 1kw and never get an answer. Not that I could hear it as the
static is s9+21db.........reminds me of cy0aa !
BTW, don't forget to look for us from cy9aa this June on TOP!
