[SCCC] FW: CQWW CW XE2GG(@XE2DN) SOSB/10 HP

[Michael S. Mitchell]

Wow!! You doubled the zone 6 10 meter record that I held for many years. I did it sort of field day style from Rio Hardy which is about 50 km south of Mexicali using a vertical and a manually rotated 5 element yagi at 12 feet. My score was 353,970 with 1,266 QSOs, 32 Zones and 83 Contries. The CQWW records say that I was assisted but in no way was I assisted. 

Great job Dave!!!!!!!!!

>But when I see that several stations worldwide worked 40 zones on 10?

>Had this been a month ago we would have reached into zones 22 and 23.

>Thank goodness the K3 has a good noise blanker. The electrical noise in Mexicali

>Having never heard any sign of zones 2, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 34, 39 I wonder who

>I was up around 1340Z on Saturday, but not really paying attention. When I heard

>The band closed up between 01Z and 02Z to most activity. The Oceania stations were

>I kept hoping  deep Asia would open up as the grayline crossed the continent, but not
