How many hams need DE?  Where does it stand on the Most Wanted List?

Isn't it about time someone planned a Dxpedition to Delaware to give the 
state to the faithful?

This may sound farcical, but have you ever heard the pileups ND has on 
their state QSO party?

I have never heard DE run on RTTY, and believe me, I've listened during 
the contests.   My theory is that they are afraid of the pileups and the 
work QSLing.

For some reason that escapes me now, I didn't work DE during the W1AW 
portable operation - BOTH times.  I worked all other W1AW/p stations, 
though.

So, who's up for the DXpedition to DE?

Bill
