  1. Greetings from the USA …

    I am glad that you’ve continued to run this. I entered again this year — it’s great fun and reminds us why DXing is such a terrific passtime. I hope you plan to do this for 2013, as well.

    Indeed, I’d be remiss if I didn’t formally thank you for doing this …and please keep it going. Thank you so much!
