[SEDXC] Countries (entities) within 2000 miles of Atlanta

[numsi21 at aol.com]

I guessed 42 last night, but my thinking was from Venice, FL and that's 540 miles south of here. Was lucky to catch YV0AA Aves Island in the late '60's before 40 years of inactivity. Last night was a great program! Thanks!

Just 40 countries is surprisingly low. I had guessed 60, last night. DX4WIN 
shows a few others are within 2,000 miles of my QTH in Norcross including 
Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, Columbia, Venezuela, and Aruba. However, the 
centers of St. Lucia, Columbia and Venezuela are more than 2,000 miles away.

As you say, not all are that easy to work. I don't have Aves Island.
