[NCDXA] Congrats Larry on 9V1YC - Fw: Worked A New One Friday

[David C]

Hi Larry Vogt (N4VA):
 
Congratulations on your 20 meter CW QSO with 9V1YC on Friday. James (9V1YC) is a very good op and nice person.
 
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. 
 
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!
 
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.
 
It means a lot to me for you to share your successes - keep posting them.
 
Happy New Year!
 
David Collingham - K3LP
NCDXA President

(testing the reflector)

Finally worked 9V1YC Friday on 20 CW.  I've been chasing after him for years and years.


He's been showing up the past three days at about 2300 or so UTC around 14.025.

I caught him just as he started CQing.   The old fashioned way of checking for his operating pattern and being there waiting.


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.  


9V is CW DXCC #329 for me.


73,

Larry  N4VA
