Topband: My QTH Trivia

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Gary, Right now I think I  am the furthest east TB operation in the 
entire U.S. but every thing I guess is relative.   However, the USVI 
prides itself with being the furthest Eastern portion of the US in the 
Western Hemisphere in fact we have a moment at Point Udall 64 33 54 that 
makes this claim. Now comes Guam which claims by being on the Western 
side of the international dateline they are the most eastward location 
in the U.S. period.  144 37.5  and they demanded President Clinton name 
them also Pt. Udall and he did. They also claim there that they are the 
western most part of the U.S. (by virtue of travel westward) so they 
have them both I guess. One of there slogans I think appears on their 
license plates "Guam where America's Day Begins"  I guess if what they 
say is correct they could also say "Guam where America ends" ☺....

Herb, KV4FZ
