Heartfelt thanks to Raoul and all the many other topbanders that have emailed 
me their congrats and best wishes here on the reflector (you know who you are). 
I’m surprised and touched by the generous welcome you’ve given me. Now I see 
why 160M is called the “gentleman’s band”. Me even more happy now.

Congrtas but Be warned: its addictive!! 

Be prepared for waking up at all hours to look for dx on 160m, to build better 
and worse antennas, to read up on 160m while it is light outside,
arranging your habits to sync with sunrise and sunset.
From now on when you see a sunrise and you do not have a radio on, you will 
always wonder what rare dx my be on 160m that you are missing!
Enjoy, its a wonderfull journey!
Kind regards,

Pardon my exuberance, but I worked my very first Topband DX this evening... 
PJ4C on Bonaire. Me happy.
