Yup, it's true. Today while talking to state-side skip, England came rolling in. I tried a couple, and then 26 Alfa Bravo from Newcastle England came back to me. My second time across the pond. Which is hard to do from Miane. It was a sweet contact. The UK/Europe is in there real strong this morning. Anyone else make a UK/Europe contact today?

I heard the triple deuce in there. But there were so many folks trying to work him, that I had no chance. It was a wild day for DXing. I even worked a third UK contact. Two one day, now that was cool. 11 meters has been a blast the last few weeks. It's all good! *G*
