[TVARC] TVARC DXCC News

[John Ellis]

I've got to agree w/Pete about there being a lot
of DX on, especially on FT8. FT8 is one place
where you can really compete and boost your
DXCC totals. And it's all because you can get
thru with a marginal signal. (i.e. Villages tolerated
antennas!) If you haven't tried it, I would really
encourage you to do so.

It's addictive!

73,
John, NP2B
