1532 miles to Texas, now that is awesome, congrats.

I am slowly moving up the ladder and having a blast seeing what antennas 
work best when.

So my best 3 DX are TAG at 786 miles, followed by SJ at 647 miles, then 
KE at ? miles as I am not sure where in EM95 the transmitter is located.

I need to nab JH next then WH2XXP.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
