Default DXpedition to Seefontein in South Africa

Another great DXpedition to our Atlantic Ocean Seefontein site. Great
logs and great cameradie.
Some nice tropical band catches as well. see:
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/seefontein_2011_03.

I was bitterly disappointed with my Perseus SDR - feel like throwing
it in the trash can.

Nice! Just curious, what's your farthest trans-Atlantic USA and Canada
catches? Have you ever heard any trans-Pacific DX from the mainland
USA or Canada? I assume that Hawaii is somewhat possible via trans-
Pacific (?).
