[NLRS] DX Records

[w0zq at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land

Al Ward, W5LUA, has updated the North American VHF+ DX records on the ARRL's website.  You can find them at http://www.arrl.org/distance-records .  I combed through the list and cherry picked out those records that have been generated by NLRS members .... please see the cut and paste below. My apologizes if I missed anyone.  In the table below the first column is the ranking for distance for that propagation mode, the second column is the propagation mode, the third is the distance in km and the rest is obvious.   

A few observations.  First is W0LERs 432 meteor Q in 1972.  Second, we seem to own the rain scatter records ... thanks to Andy, K0SM, for his fine RS tool and N0UK for the rainscatter reflector!  Third, I think we had some 10GHz Tropo(C) records from last years 10 GHz contest that are not showing up in this list.  N0KP/0 has some nice Tropo(c) contacts with VE4MA, N4PZ and N0DQS that need to be posted.  What else are we missing?  To get posted, send the date, time, band, propagation mode, who you worked, and distance to Al at w5lua at arrl.net  .

73, Jon
