[Jim Brown]

Great post, Wes. Propagation from here is even tougher than Tucson, 
although I probably have less noise.

I have yet to count any FT mode for DXCC and I would like to keep it that way, but at my age (82) there won't be another expedition in this lifetime.  So even an FT contact will be welcomed here.
