Manfred, DL5CC, sent me the following email:

****************

Hello OM,

We are a clubstation near Rostock North Germany and very interested to
work the award WAS.

It is very difficult to work Nebraska. Nothing in ARRL-DX-Contest 2009
and 2010.

Can you help us with Mail address from active OM in CW 20m with a good
rig?

Best 73 - Manfred DL5CC 1st OP on clubstation DL0VV

****************

I thought the best way to handle this was to let as many NE CW
operators as possible know about it. Please email Manfred at
and "cc" me to let me know that you are working to set up
the schedule.

Nice to be in a state where DX requests us for contacts!

Thanks and 73,
Art, KØAIZ

Two days ago I forwarded a note from Manfred, DL5CC, requesting a NE
contact for their WAS certificate. I got a thank you note from Manfred
today. A successful contact was made with Scotty, NØAZN, on 20M CW.

I very much appreciate the rapid response from several of you. I'm
glad we could help our German colleague.

After 20 years at my current QTH, the only state I don't have confirmed,
either by card or LOTW, is Nebraska, even though I live only about 300
miles from Omaha.

Of course, the fact that for the past several years the only time I've
worked US stations was during SS probably had a lot to do with that :-)

quite a while ago.

Wonder where it's been hiding all this time?

In about 3-4 years I should be traveling through NB again.. I can drop
in in PENDER for the night at the Blue Ox campground and schedule a
contact... But alas, You are going to have to remember it
