[CW] 80 meters in good shape last night

[David Ring]

I wish to thank Mike W1MK and others who gave me the information about
Kazakhstan.  I guess I made a mountain out of an ant hill.  I could
have just looked up the call sign in QRZ and gotten the QTH.

The station was in the capital city = which is not far from China!

Wow - that's got to be my best DX over land on 80 meters.

Hey, I'm impressed with my top loaded vertical!

See Mike's email below - he mentions http://www.ng3k.com and this site
is a MUST bookmark and use - it is chock full of DX info and links.
VERY impressive site.

Over the weekend, I heard W1AF contact W1MX - Harvard U and MIT both
in Cambridge, MA having a CW contact.  Way to go guys!  CW rules the
schools!
