Barry: Europe is definitely a tough shot for West coasters. I've only heard one Ukraine station this year when this time of year they are normally thicker than mosquitoes in a swamp ! I'm on

Jerry Yes they are not that difficult for us but on the other hand I have never seen a Ukraine (+10yrs of trying) and due to the mountain in my backyard on the north side I am fortunate to see one

A few years ago I spoke with K1ZZ (boss of ARRL) about how underpaid I was as a QSL Bureau sorter and told him I wanted a raise. I got a 100% increase ! 100% of nothing !) Jerry N9AVY

From 9-Land, the Middle East is not impossible, but it is difficult. I have made a few contacts with Israel and a surprising one with Oman. My longest PSK contact was with Reunion Island in the Indian

Matt, I personally thank you for all you do on your very expensive salary. It's though to jugle home life with this so I imagine it is a challenge to get that all together. So Thank you SIR!
