Steve, Dex, & The Group,

Wow! An amazing accomplishment for Dex and QRSS60 mode.
Unless I am mistaken 2,355 miles is the longest Lowfer reception
in over 20 years...and perhaps ever.

(Does anyone know exactly the locations of Mike Mideke's Z2 beacon
and Sheldon Remington's location in Hawaii during that reception?)

Lyle and I like to joke about the 1,000 mile club being the new
benchmark for gauging ERP of a lowfer transmitter. I guess the
new standard will have to be the 2,000 mile club! It currently
only has two members!

Steve, please tell us more about your receiver, band conditions, etc.
This is so exciting!

73,
