Phil:

We have not met, but I wanted to congratulate you on reaching 
5B-DXCC.  I understand completely the challenge of getting the 
required 80 meter contacts from the Black Hole of the Midwest (using 
a GAP Titan).  I need 5 more confirmed contacts on 80 meters for 
7B-DXCC, but it's like pulling hen's teeth!  Everybody hears the 80 
meter DX except me, it seems!!  nevertheless, it's a fun hobby.

Again, congratulations and 73,
