The fact that you did this alone is amazing. The QSL card is beautiful and was received only several weeks after your DX-pedition. Hard to believe I worked you with 80 watts and a G5RV from Atlanta, GA. Your writings are great to read and you should seriously think about writing a book on Ham Radio DX-peditions up North. <br /><br />Again, a really super job and great reading. <br /><br />TNX<br /><br />Glenn<br />K4ZOTGlennhttp://adf.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653052729541243066.post-80641461034501932222010-05-05T19:41:48.068-06:002010-05-05T19:41:48.068-06:00Thank you John for my new IOTA from the TOP.

In fact, the only thing even close to a negative comment was early on when one op posted 'why no split?' The answer, of course, was that I had the attenuator on and the gain turned down and I was still working the loud guys at a decent rate. "<br /><br />You should think of something else. It's not only problem on your side to work out the pileup. When a weak DX works in simplex, takers call endessly covering it for good. You can't figure out is the DX transmitting or not - total chaos. The split operation makes things so easier! It's not only your problem to copy stations calling - I'm sure that you heard yourself here in EU - you'd realise very quickly how the simplex operation difficult for us was!
