Larry, instead of complaining all of the time about others, why don't
you relate to us how you've revolutionized radio communications?

BTW, how's your WAS coming?

Saw in QST where a ham had 48 states in 1957, then completed WAS with
Hawaii and Nevada in 2003. No doubt another revolutionizing operator.

Brian:

I *have* worked all 50 states; however, I've never received a QSL card from
North Dakota. BTW, I worked all 50 mainly from the mobile HF station I
had in my '78 Plymouth Horizon while stationed at Andrews AFB, MD. And,
in case you're wondering, it was mainly CW, with some SSB contacts.
BTW2: It was done between Sept. 1981 and Feb. 1983, so it took me a
whole 18 months. Sorry to disappoint you.

73 de Larry, K3LT

Larry, I'm not disappointed, but you should be. Talk to Dave sometime
about ARRL award programs. Condensed version: If you don't have all
the cards, you don't have the award.

So you still need to confirm North Dakota for WAS. And the guy in
Qst, 1957-2003, has your 1981-200??? beat.
