<div>Hi Larry Vogt (N4VA):</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Congratulations on your 20 meter CW QSO with 9V1YC on Friday. James (9V1YC) is a very good op and nice person.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm so gratified to see this type of posting on our clubs reflector! I hope many more members don’t fear to share some of their accomplishments. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We each have our own set of limitations (i.e. location and noise, antennas, radios, amps, neighbors, pride, ego, etc.) when it comes to working DX – so without judgement, it feels great to support you on your nice victory!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It brings back so many memories and exciting times for me! This is why you can find me CQing on the bands – it’s like fishing – I just can’t get enough.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It means a lot to me for you to share your successes - keep posting them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Happy New Year!</div>
<div> </div>

<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">Finally worked 9V1YC Friday on 20 CW. I've been chasing after him for years and years.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>He's been showing up the past three days at about 2300 or so UTC around 14.025.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I caught him just as he started CQing. The old fashioned way of checking for his operating pattern and being there waiting.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>James and I tried both long and short path. SP was better. Don't know if LP was even open, could be we were both working each other off the backs of our beams. <BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>9V is CW DXCC #329 for me.</DIV>

<DIV>73,</DIV>
