[Boatanchors] W5WP Tops DXCC List

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All,

W5WP, David Paperman of TX has accomplished something that most of us only 
dream of. He has worked and verified all 340 entities on Voice. He is over 
the 300 mark doing it on CW and approaching the 200 mark on RTTY. That is 
incredible! Especially since the propagation over the past ten years has 
left a lot to be desired! There were days one could not work oneself on back 
splatter!

He has done some of it using a Hallicrafters SR-2000. I'll bet that made it 
a lot more fun too! Although I am sure using a vintage rig also had its 
share of disadvantages. Nevertheless, working a rare station using fifty 
year old gear has to have its own special thrill too!

I am curious. How many of you out there have worked and confirmed over a 
hundred entities? I am sure there are a lot more of you then we realize. So 
speak up! Tell us about your moments of glory and your DXing 
accomplishments. Even more, also tell us how you made it happen!

Duane, W8DBF
