[80m] list and a note

[Randy Wing]

I have never posted to this list - but seeing others here has spurred me to
participate...

I have never worked DX on 80m before this winter.  At least not very much.

Since I got voice access to the 80m band, I have largely been a lurker to
the band and to the boards - except for the 3905 CC nets.  I've worked 47
states on 80m and about a dozen 80m countries.  It has been easier than ever
to work 80m DX this season.  I just got Antartica confirmed three days ago.
It has been very exciting for me.

Largely, I've made these DX contacts by monitoring 3.79 - 3.805, DXSUMMIT,
and by participating in 3905.  Is there any other methodology that I should
be employing?  I have considered making a contact plan by looking at the DX
column I get from the ARRL every week, but I seem to not be able to keep up
with it.  :)
