[50mhz] DX (A W7 Perspective)

[Rsoifer at aol.com]

Hi Tim,
 
Looking at the map, you're about the same distance from Europe that I am  
here in DM41, but the path is obviously a bit different.  Over the next 20  
years I hope to work as many of them via Es as you have.

I hear  so many coments from the midwest and atlantic seaboard states crying
about  "Being in a black hole", etc....  Try being in Nevada as far as "Too 
 
Far
West" for big openings to Europe!

It took 20+ years of  trying along with the luck of getting up at early, 
turning on
the rig,  and pointing N NE for me to finally experiance a opening to EU 
from  
NV.

Even then at only 80W out I am amazed at working a total of 8  countries,
CT1, ON4, 9A1, PA0, EA6, SV1, IK5, & E70.

I even  heard a EA8 on SSB and by the time I realized what was happening  
and
started calling him the opening was done or I would have finished 6M  WAC 
from
NV.

And before my critics counter with "well you get  Alaska and Japan"... that
doesnt even compare to all the DXCC entities in  EU, AF, NA, and SA
within typical range of W1,2,3,4,8, & 9.

Its  thanksgiving guys... be THNAKFUL for what you have....

73s and DX in  2011 de Tim - K7XC - DM09nm... sk
