Yes, Bernie mentioned that it might not be of as much interest to us “#1 Hogs” but I loved it.  I remembered every one, often in good detail about the contact.  I remembered  BS7H being in the final hours coming in weak from any direction on 20 CW and calling and calling.  I was thirsty and hungry but I wasn’t about to get out of the chair.  My wife brought me a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin.  After a lot of calling, I got a reply.  They left soon after that.  Later, I cornered W6RGG and told him how much I appreciated him sitting out there on that little platform to work me.  

Every new one has special circumstances, it seems.  Often the difference between an ATNO and failure is pretty slim.  

Good memories!  DX IS!

Jay,

 

Many thanks for a great meeting yesterday and for lining up Bernie, and to Bernie for a very informative presentation. Even for an old dog DX’er it is good to be reminded of the current status of some of the most needed.

 

During the presentation when Bernie would mention the last time the entity was activated, I remembered that DXpedition and even some of the specifics of working them on a specific band. Brought back a lot of “dog fight” pile ups!

 

Thanks again Jay!!!
