[SMCARA] One of two goals accomplished.

[jbr13 at md.metrocast.net]

	Thanks BOZ, and thanks for the help different times with HDR and
JT65.  I had not considered that yet.  Not sure if I really want to
start from scratch on the CW.  Maybe if I get my old cards checked and
added that would make it much easier.  Then again, maybe I save that
as a future challenge.  Besides finishing my inital DXCC, I am looking
for 5 more states on Digital, 9 more on RTTY, and 16 on Phone.  I
think those will be the next goals, and build toward multi-band WAS
and DXCC's.

 I started back on the Amateur Radio and the HF bands back in March
of this
 year. I has been great to get back into Ham radio again, and I have
really
 enjoyed see old Ham friends and meeting so many new ones. 
 When I got back on I set a two goals for myself that I had not
reached years
 ago when I first got into the hobby. One being get my DXCC award,
and two
 was to get Worked All States. After working several WV stations last
week,
 one of them finally confirmed in LOTW this morning. I was very close
to WAS
 CW only back in 1997-2002 time frame, but feel short before I
drifted fom
 our hobby. I know it is not a huge deal, but I am very happy that I
put in
 for my WAS Basic today. I think the coolest thing was I started from
 scratch since getting back on the air on March 25. After taking the
end of
 June through mid August off the HF bands, and working March thru
June out of
 my mobile, that leaves me with about 5 1/2 months air time. I think
that
 was pretty good, to pick up WAS. Now if I could just get four more
DXCC
 countries to confirm out of the 155 or so I have worked, I would be
really
 please. 
 Last but not least, I want to thank all those that have given me
 advice and elmering over the last several months. Being out of radio
for 12
 years, you all helped get me back up to speed and learn the new
digital
 modes and interfaces. 
 Best 73's to all
