[TVARC] DX Contacts

[William De Miranda]

Dear TVARC Members,
I read with interest all the FT8 contacts that were made recently by a number of you, plus all the good points that were obtained in the various contests.
I am not a contest guy, although I try to respond and help the contesters get points. Also, I like to hear the color of the voice on the the other end, so I am not into digital modes.
I like to brag about my share of DX contacts during the last few months. These were all SSB phone, on 20 M unless noted, using my Icom 756 Pro-II and with my little 21 ft. Vertical. All were with 100W, except the last 2 weeks, when I plugged in my amp and cranked it up to 200W, the max the vertical can handle:
