Topband: DX recognition

[Steve Flood]

Perhaps something based more on distance and grid squares....like the Stew.    However rare, I got no big thrill working K1N.   160,80,40 came easy with no amp and only a few calls.  The trick was getting up at 2 am to do it.  I am far more interested  in working XW8, who I've been trying to hear for many days.  The tougher ones are more satisfying.       Steve kk7uv
