May not be considered "rare" by some standards, but they were my first three, and I was excited to make them.....

#1 - was a fellow in Western Slovenia named Tom on 20m...SSB

#2 - The PI4DX contest group in the Netherlands on 40m....SSB

#3 - Another Italian named Tony, but he's still in Italy, Pescara, Italy to be exact, got him on 40m...SSB also...

Been chasing a guy named Lou in Barcelona Spain for a couple of evenings on 40m, but he seems to draw one hell of a pile-up whenever he gets on, and my 200 watts on a wire never seems to reach him over all the beam point flame throwers working the same contact.....but I'll get him one of these days.....
 

congratulation's do you manage to make the trip to ireland

Have not heard any stations from Ireland yet, I did hear a station from G.B. rag chewing with a couple of stations over here one day on 20 meters, but I wasn't going to interrupt their conversation to ask for a DX contact.....

Had a guy named Roberto from Milan, Italy booming in on 7.190.0 Mhz this evening, tried several times to get him, but he wasn't hearing me, at the point when he was hitting me 10 over S-9, he asked for mid west, and west coast states only.....:huh:

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
