A happy day!

Nice work Ace = congratulations. You and your Drake's are making
a
fine team - very well done!

Whew! 223 countries = hard to beat that.

Oh, it's been beat for certain, there are folks out there who have
240 +
countries using the NASWA list.

I'm a mere piker. Wish I'd stuck with the hobby through the 70's,
but
I
was busy
doing other things at the time. I got back into it around 1982 or
so.

Ace, Congrats on the new country ! I only have about 60 countries
QSL'd
(veried, for those in Glendale) LOL couldn't resist mentioning
that.
Ace,
did
you happen to attend the ANARC convention in Montreal 1982 ? we
probably
met,talked with alot of DX'ers from all over that weekend ,
Frank

I didn't go to the one in Montreal in '82 but did attend one there
some
years
later. I think the first one I attended was Milwaukee in '85?

I went to ANARCON in Montreal in '86. I just dug out my packet of the
handouts.

I don't remember that one, that's the year that I met my future wife
and
kind of
dropped out of SWL'ing. Was it held at the Radio Canada building ?

It was at the Holiday Inn - Place Dupuis. We did visit Radio Canada.

in '82 the convention itself was at Radio Canada, got to meet
Jonathan Marks of R Nederland and won a R.Sweden t-shirt
during the auction on the last day, good memories...........

Jonathan was at Milwaukee in 1985.

I did get my 40th Anniversary edition of the WRTH signed by Jens Frost, Glenn
Heffernan, Andy Sennitt and Larry Magne. Guess that must've been in Toronto.
