[OKDXA] DX the old fashioned way

Oh yes, the good ole days. Even though I do not go back as many years as you Jim, my original DXCC in 1992 was done totally without the internet or packet cluster. I ran a Kenwood TS-520 with only 100 watts. It was fun to find the DX all by yourself. I even worked some DX station split by moving the big dial on the 520 back and forth manually.
Today I do use and enjoy the internet spots and wished we still had the DX packet cluster here. I have been trying the P5 every afternoon lately with no success. But I may get lucky any day.
