[GCARC] Fwd: AB2E SOAB(A) HP CQWW CW 2019

[DARRELL NERON]

Hi all,
Just want to mention, I know some of you might be working on the ARRL DXCC award but are not into contesting.
There is probably no easier way to build your totals than to get in a worldwide DX contest.
I made DXCC on 3 bands this weekend (20,40, and 80) in 48 hours, so there's an amazing amount of worldwide dx on, plus expeditions that activate many rare places.
