Problem:  48 states worked; however  NEVADA-state + IDAHO still missing
Hoping for assistance: to find a few willing HAMs from NEVADA-state,
     with which I could .....
Organize skeds by E-mail.

Dear om Charles, W6OLD,

My name is Gerhard Moser (handle:"Gary"), Call: HB9CQC, QTH M=F6hlin /AG.
At first kind regards from Switzerland's summertime, near the city Basel to=
=20
you and your xyl Melissa KK7AA. - I hope that I do not bother you to much=20
with my problem of looking for a few adresses of HAM's from Nevada, which=20
might be interested to QSO with me.  --
I selected your address by searching via internet (ARRL.org) and its=20
Pacific Division.
So I checked the Nevada Section Clubs (affiliated with ARRL) and learned=20
that you are contact person of the CVRC;  besides I have read about the=20
"Antenna Party Memorial Day Weekend" (qsl.net/w6old/party). - Vy impressive=
=20
systems !!

That is the way, I came to you, Charles. --
About my WAS-Award: Since 2 and 1/2 year I work for this award and I made=20
47 US-states in a 2 year's time, including QSL-mailing and card-exchange. I=
=20
worked most US-states just by participating the important ARRL-DX-contests,=
=20
IARU-HF-Champ'ship, NA-QSO-parties and ARRL-10m-contest in Dec.
All the time I never heard a Nevada-stn or Idaho station calling, whereby I=
=20
always knew, that the band was open over the entire NA-continent, when=20
hearing stns from CA (many!) and WA (about 3...4 in a contest) and OR (at=20
least one or 2 every contest). With Hawaii it was the same problem.--=20
However in the last 8 weeks I could work Hawaii twice, thanks to E-mail=20
correspondency; Harry KH6FKG told me to join on saturdays to the EU-DX-Net=
=20
freq. and promised to check-in on the net... and it worked with 2 diff. KH6=
=20
stns. (During this time, I also observed, whether W7-stns were  checking in=
=20
to EU-DX-Net --controlled by Dr.Selim, OE6EEG -- and indeed I copied in=20
this time 6 logged W7-stns; however neither a Nevada, nor an Idaho-stn.=20
were joined !!)

So much to describe my difficulties to work the last 2 US-states by the=20
usual way.
- As we have already passed the maximum of the 23rd sun cyle, I think that=
=20
in about 10 month the 10m-band will already very often be closed, and the=20
15m and 20m-bands will also significantly be worse. So, I intend to profit=
=20
still from good DX-conds this year; and I must search a way to organize the=
=20
missing 2 important QSOs .
-- Dear Charles, you have many HAM-friends in Nevada.  Do you think, you=20
can indicate me 2...4 Nevada-callsigns of DX-HAM's (by E-Mail-reply and=20
perhaps the Internet-Address, where I can find their E-Mail-Addr., like=20
e.g. <http://www.qrz.com>www.qrz.com; etc.), that are willing  for a=20
sked  with me ??
-- Or, could you tell me a Northamerican DX-Net-freq. (and utc.) on which=20
W7-stns frequently like to check-in. (only 10m, 15m, and 20m, in SSB would=
=20
comply)? (Except EU-DX-Net).
For Idaho-state, I shall search myself for a DX-Club in internet and hope=20
to find also a contact-person. - Perhaps you can recommend to me a Idaho=20
DX-club for this purpose ?

I thank you in advance, dear Charles, for your assistance and perhaps I can=
=20
once do also a favour to you and/or your friends. (I am operating 3 or 4=20
times every year from my second QTH in Fuerstentum Liechtenstein (HB0)=20
which is a relatively rare country for oversea's stns. (see: HB0/HB9CQC  in=
