Those of you at the 1Q Meeting at Earl and Sharron's place will remember  I was 
skunked trying to work VU4PB on 17M CW  using Earl's most  excellent 
station(after Dennis, W5RZ and Earl, N5ZM had worked them  without breaking a 
sweat).  Last night I finally hooked up with the  VU4PB crew on 20 CW Long Path 
around 0130Z.   The terrain drops off to the south from my QTH making Long Path 
to Asia a bit easier (SP is uphill!)  While listening for them on 20M RTTY  I 
heard a loud CQ from RX0AT, Vit, in Zone 18.  I worked him and will  now try to 
get a card to complete my mixed WAZ. I've sent several cards to Zone 18 stations 
but have never got one in return.  I've established an e-mail connection with 
Vit so maybe I can make it work this time.

73,
Pat, W5VY
