Congrats to K2DRH and N6RMJ on their long range Perseids meteor scatter QSO and
to Bob on completing 48 states on 2 Meters!
Both K2DRH -- N6RMJ and N0LL -- K1WHS are over the usual "one hop" Es
or meteor scatter limit of 2,200 - 2,300 km. Amazing.
I also worked K1WHS on 2M Es July 29 (2245 utc) at 1434 miles with an indoor
yagi
and gave N0LL a "heads up" phone call re. K1WHS after I worked Dave.
