[VHFcontesting] Jim - NW7O - Now a SK

[jon jones]

Merle - W7YOZ  -- FB on having the 2 Meter NA Es record for 10 years !

Typo -->  It is WA7GSK (DN13) -- W4FF (EL96)  3,635 KM May 29, 1998 who have the current NA 2 Meter sporadic-E record. Who will break it ?  With FT8 becoming more common on 2 meters now,
 perhaps someone will next summer?

As for the first 220 MHz Es contact -- K5UGM TX -- W5HUQ/4 FL Sunday of the June, 1987 VHF Contest

Thank you also Tim for your sad report regarding NW7O.  He provided me with two of my 144 MHz VUCC grids here in CN87.  Regarding the 2 Meter Sporadic E records, WA4CQG in EM72 and I held the record following Jim at 3,495 miles from 6/6/88 until Al, WA7GSK broke it in 1998.
