"Back home again in Indiana."  That's me.  I went back to my home town 
to celebrate my brother's and my birthdays, visit my father and my 1950s 
high school buddy, Sandy, W9JOE, who set me up to operate the IARU contest 
at the Goshen ARC station.

There was an interesting thread running on the CQ-Contest reflector about 
the ARRL DX Contest and geographic and propagation path inequities and what
to do about them.  I thought that by transplanting myself 850 miles west 
I might have something to add from my IARU experience.  But it turns out 
that a beam on a 100 foot tower in Indiana trumps attic dipoles in 
Massashusetts any old day. I know we in the Northeast sweet spot have 
longer openings to Europe and the Mediterranean rim, but for me at home 
this often means I just get to SWL for a couple of hours while the big
NE guns work EUs through their own continental QRM. So I have no 
fuel to throw on the fire. Anyway the thread has frayed away
and the ball is in the ARRL's court to rejuvenate a ho-hum contest.

Please QSL via LoTW and eQSL(AG). I want to get a Indiana WAS with the
former and I use the latter for many CQ and DARC awards.  I am an
enthusiastic supporter of both electronic QSL services in spite of their 
limitations.

Direct and bureau QSLs are fine too. I reply 100%.

Thanks for the QSOs.

73,
Kermit, AB1J
