just worked on PSK31.

He's operating the Iraqi station by remote control from San Francisco.

Did I read somewhere that this doesn't count for DXCC?


I dunno, but if it does, it should count for W6.

(I do have a valid YI confirmed on CW)


Mine's on SSB.

I can see it now. Some rich guy builds (okay, has built) an h-f

via helicopter on BS7 at low tide. He works himself and makes #1 on
the Honor Roll.
