[SADXA] Top Band

[Jim English]

Hi Wes,

Getting 100 on 160 before you turn 100.  Hmmm.  I have been chasing DX 160
for the past 7 years.  I had a serious QRT problem for the previous 38.
Anyway I'm all the way up to 17 confirmed.  At this rate I'll be 103 before
I get 160m DXCC.  I'll probably have DXCC on 6m and 2m before I ever see
DXCC on 160.  So don't be discouraged as I'm sure you are closer than that.

73,

Jim WO7V
