TopBand: DXpeditions

[Donald B. Hall]

Ron,

I sure hope you are kidding.

If we are in for "when last heard you were 3 by 3" and
"good contact", then top band will be in the same shape
as much of SSB.

Where is the challenge and who will be the designator
of the "big guns" to be on the list?

Just my personal thoughts.
