Ultralight
World distance record, though only by 80 miles over Paul Logan's previous
record.

Note: In August 2008, I logged about 50 East Asian TPs with the E100 +
Wellbrook Phased Array combination from our normal Grayland, WA
site. Although I noted most of these stations (the stronger
Japanese, Koreans and Chinese) during this DXpedition, I only formally
logged stations that I had never before heard on an Ultralight
radio.
Total NEW TPs: 36 + 4 Alaskans Total TP stations using an
E100 + Wellbrook Phased Array = 125
