[Elecraft] ARRL CW DX

[T. David Yarnes]

Congrats Lenny!  You did well.  You didn't say which bands 
you were on, but I suspect 20 meters was your main one. 
Actually, 40 meters was more productive for me, but that was 
probably more due to my choice of operating times.  I worked 
about 50+ there, but I was "fudging" the power a bit more 
than you.

When you worked PZ5WW, you were very possibly working one of 
our more famous QRPers--Hank, K8DD, who is one of our most 
recent ARCI Hall of Fame additions.  There were 3 other ops 
along--Jay, W5JAY; Stan, AC8W; and Jim, KB8TXZ.  They will 
be operating through tomorrow I think, but using 
individually assigned calls in addition to PZ5WW.  Listen 
for them if you have a chance.

Also, if you haven't worked VP6DX yet, check around for that 
operation on Dulcie Island.  They have great signals on just 
about every band.  As I write this email, they are booming 
in on 40 CW.
