_WAY TO GO ILENE !!!!!!_
We lucked out and had a decent opening for a change
when you snagged EM.  Congrats....
I also got them, on 20M SSB, within a few minutes of your contact.

>> I ran into Monk Apollo that way. Just lucked out and worked him on RTTY even though he was not yet on any spotting network.
>>
>> Bernie McClenny, W3UR, has a list of the status of the most recent activation of the top 20 rarest ones. I need about half of them. Namely, the half with the oldest "most recent activation" date.
>>
>> I "worked" Turkmenistan but according to the DX desk the station "has no documentation". I believe that ham radio is now illegal in Turkmenistan so no wonder there was "no documentation".
>>
>> Typical of the places I still need are: Howland, Pratas, Eritrea, Kingman, North Korea, Navassa, Bouvet, Crozet, South Sandwich, Baker/Holland, Amsterdam, Heard, Tromelin, South Sandwich, Kingman Reef, Juan De Nova.

>> All you at the OKDXA are really setting the bar so perseverance and tenacity. This is a lifetime pursuit and I'm just a tenderfoot.
