Ron,

You probably also copied BOB, TH, and VA.  Your JPH was likely JDH or just a 
typo.  When I got back on 1750M I ran ZIA until I changed to NC due to the 
vanity ham call change.  I have many QSOs with WI and XGJ.  BA (W9PNE) and I 
tried many times for a two way since we had occasionally heard each others 
beacon Q5 but we just never got together at the right time.  Think JDH and I 
also had a few QSOs.

The following CW LOWFERs were heard, from my central NC QTH, during the periods between Mar 89, and Jan 91, and between Dec. 93, and Mar 94. I definetely remember hearing DEX, sometime, after Mar 94, so I've included that call, as well as A3O, which I logged, but forgot to provide date information for.
