    I gottem in the LOG! And I nailed the TX5K Clipperton on 19 or 20 bandmodes! THAT is DXing!!!
    That's pretty impressive. The Clipperton pileups were massive.

    Isn't Spratly the place where some German hams were killed by pirates or something back in the '80's? I know the Islands are disputed territory.

    Can't be arsed to do that work, i pick them as i find them, mostly one call is enough to book them.
    Now let's talk 160 phone and see how far you get there.... I worked USA Canada South america USSR up to 6000 miles etc, from the edge of the city with the lowly FT 2000-D and Heathkit SB-1000, and inverted L homebrew.
    C.W. would have been much easier, but then i normally don't do that easy, looking for a challenge is more my schtick ;)

    Or operate from Fox News Headquarters, that would be like DX'ing from another planet.

    We need DXpeditions to VU7 LANKASHWEEP, ZD9 Tristan De Cunha, SV/A Mount Athos, BS7H Scarbourough Reef, and E4 Palestine. That will make me happy (after they are in the LOG!)

    17m, 2007. Where were you?

    ZD9 Tristan De Cunha, SV/A Mount Athos,
    Don't think I have either of those.

    BS7H Scarbourough Reef,
    A rock barely above water at high tide? A fucking joke it's even on the list, IMHO.

    and E4 Palestine.
    15m, 17m, and 20m, 2010. Again, where were you?

    That will make me happy (after they are in the LOG!)
