Hmmmm.....Well, Zoli assured me that there are 40-some YO's on hf running PSK. I wonder if he said that just to see Romania on the endorsements page hi! Jay N3DQU.

Yes, that must be something like that, I'm justwondering how Jay made the way on my roof. Erika/DL2AYL

Don't feel bad, Erika. I haven't seen one even beforethe endorsement was announced. :) 73, Dick wb0dul@...

Uhmm! just worked YO9ALY, Mircea at 1558z on10m :) Ernie

Yes, they do. I have heard it a few times on SSB pileups! Costas SV1XV +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Costas Krallis SV1XV * LOC KM18UA

This is happening to me also almost like your case,Erika... I was full of EA stations last year even when I called DX... and veryfew found this year, HI. Returning to the YO endorsement, I try to be

You're probably right then: lots of Alan's! I worked TI9M with AD6E at the controls on 3 different CW bands and he always acknowledged me with the club's version of the "secret handshake,' which the
