[SCCC] ARRL DX CW W6YA SOHP 20

[Dick Stepanian]

Good work Jim.  Yes the pile-ups on DX stations was pretty crazy.  I did
operate (Assisted) but it is sure different than a few years back - the
Skimmers and RBN's have made things a lot more difficult with the
pile-ups.  I doubt we will ever see pure SO again!   Good to hear you some
mornings - short skip up the central coast area.  Take care

73,
Dick - W6TK
