My very first transcontinental DX was 6W8DD on 15M novice band about
1963.
What a thrill- I was probably a bit of a lid as I had no clue how to
work
a
pile up- but there were gentlemen on the band back then and willing to
put
up with a novice.

Imagine my thrill at working JY1 on 15. He on SSB, me on CW. Broke in
whilst he
was working a Kenyan.

How rude of me!
