hallo DX- und Contest-Freunde,
anbei ein Auszug aus “425”, der für die Old-Timer von uns besonders interessant sein sollte... sehr empfehlenswert auch für jüngere DX-Freunde (gibt es die überhaupt?)...

AN INTERVIEW WITH W9WNV ---> "We are all powered by dreams of distant lands,
rare DX, and the urge  to compete and  stand up at the podium.  Those dreams
are often inspired by those whom we admire  and want to be  on par with - or
even more.
Don Miller, W9WNV, was once a  DX hero and a  CQWW Contest SOAB dual  record
holder (CW/SSB) but  suddenly  left  the industry.  On DXpeditions, Don  was
eagerly followed by most of the DXing world. Martti, OH2BH wanted to emulate
his  efforts a nd  become  of  his kind.  What did Don  do  to  create  this
following?
It  was  Christmas  2016  when  Don Miller, W9WNV, and  Martti Laine, OH2BH,
Gathered  at  Martti's  Finland  home  at his 7 0th anniversary party.  This
meeting brought back reminiscences of the days when  our industry  was still
young and provided an interesting  playing field  for  the evolution  of our
great DX passion.
During this meeting in Finland, Don was caught  on video  talking about  his
earlier operations and his operating methods. Many aspects of how we operate
now were pioneered by Don Miller. Split operation, "5NN,"  pileup management
techniques; looking back, many of these  techniques  were first  implemented
during Miller's  operations".  Don talks  about some  of  these issues  in a
YouTube video  (5 parts): go  to  https://www.youtube.com/  and  search  for
'W9WNV in Helsinki'. [TNX OH2BH]
