World Map Updated.

I wasn't complaining at all, I am impressed with the amount of contacts he as, many as you wish I had myself, my hat is off to him. The difference is we run 100 and he runs 100 watts one is with in the rules the other is not. A contact is a contact but sometimes you have to play within the context of the rules given or concede that you are playing with your fingers crossed behind your back.

Actually my comment was aimed at someone else other than you. No problems. I see your point.

Living up to your Handle. Very impressive. I bet you enjoyed it all. I know I would.

New cycle bump.

A contact is a two way street and it just might help to have ears to go with the power.

I wasn't doing much today, so I thought I would update the old map.
All the "flags" are for just one DXCC (divisions), except for Russia, in which I have several going across from Asiatic to European. Also just couple extra in the French Polynesia area.

All 218 are 11 meter band and 217 of those have been made using a good old "export" mobile radio* doing 90 watts! Oh, one more thing...absolelutly no amp was ever used!
*Them darn radios sure suck don't they!

Hey Larry,
With all the new DX running, can you show us an update of your map? I am slowly getting the long haul contacts myself.

Well Chris, there's not really to much more to show for now, but when this cycle is over then maybe I will have a few more "new" countries added.
I had a chance to get a contact from Qtar a week ago, but one of them guys on the east coast and his 1.5 kw took over - sure wish they would outlaw them amps on 11 meters.........

1 or 100 watts it,s still a fine looking map and a lot of time was spent making all the contacts . You can be proud of your accomplishment . You the man!!.
