[SFDXA] What state is DX?

[Pete Rimmel N8PR]

That is Funny...  Two states are "DX" but not in field day !  Sounds like 
you had fun, BIll.

BTW,  Out at Markham Park the guys  worked SU9VB with my little 3 element 
tribander at 22 feet Friday night before the contest with 100 watts.  Who 
says you need big antennas  LOL   I couldn't believe that they did that.

Wed night the group may be on from Rwanda including EME.

73,  PeteR

Ha ha!!!  My best distance this year was from the venerable "State of DX"! 
In
may case the EA7 (4100 miles on 5W) was worth 10 points (CW 2x and QRP 5x).
The poor guy missed out on some points!

I hope that you enjoyed the extra bit of amusement!
