  Wow, that's really amazing! My congrats!

  I remember last year at CN8WW, that the QSL manager of CN8WW brought 
the W5YA QSL for a QRP 160m QSO with CN8WW in 1999 and showed it to 
everybody to encourage us and to show what is possible on top band!!!

  I have asked the team, they are using a beverage antenna pointed to 
North America and Europe to listen on 160. And... the location there is 
really quiet. That's the secret.

  Keep on the good QRP work and 73,

  Bernd, DF3CB
