    I'll not only send a QSL card, I'll send cookies!


    Hell, i'll burn out the inductor in my 949 for some fresh baked chocolate chips!

    JA and Sweden have confirmed.

    I've only been a General a few months though. Only have access to 10/20 right now as well.

    I'm hoping to get confirmation on a Mexico, Brazil, and a Puerto Rico I have in the log as well.

    I also got a Canada on 10. I had them on 20 though. They confirmed as well.

    I heard a China too, but the pile was unreal. Couldn't get that one. Was on Sunday on 10. Oh well, another contest coming soon. But for me, those ones are exciting.

    Thats a fun time to be a ham...one with new HF privies! Almost everything you log is a new something or other. Its like you cant turn around without logging a new country, state, zone, prefix, IOTA, etc...or a new band of something you already have. I looked back on my logbook from when i returned to the air in '96 from the states, everything had "NEW" next to it. Ive been DXing since 1983, but Alaska counts as a separate country. Once i moved down here, i had to start all over...thats cool by me! :)


    It seems that these days theres a Dxpedition every week. I cant recall ever losing interest in this hobby.


    edit: ....no way in hell i will miss CQWW CW! Its the main one i always look forward to. See ya there!

    I don't think I made one QSO as a General, oddly enough. When I was upgrading in the mid '00s, I was pretty much off the air completely.

    When I upgraded, I was too busy walking uphill in the snow, both ways, in the Arizona desert, to even think about getting on the air.

    Granted, there are still Novices out there :-P
