Two great DX catches
 
Congratulations and well done for two great DX catches:
Guy Atkins for 4777 Libreville, Gabon 8,060 miles away from Puyallup

and

dxAce for Gongtok, Sikkim, India on 3390 which is 7,590 miles away from
Holland, Michigan.
I think dxAce will soon qualify far a permanent seat on the Security Council
of the U.N. with all his 235 countries QSL'd..!!

I don't know where "tianli's" QTH is, otherwise he might also have got a
bouquet for Mauritania.

Thanks John, but unfortunately only 216 countries QSL'd at present, but 235
'heard'.

Tomorrow I'll be back listening to 4950, AIR Srinigar, Kashmir which was coming
in as well but I had to get my priorities in order and stick with Gangtok this
morning. I've been trying to get a good logging of that one for some time.
