Finally broke the 2000-mile barrier with my DT-200VX last night, running barefoot.
2200 EDT 750 YVKS Caracas, Venezuela, gave a list of network of stations at TOH, many in Caracas, mentions of "R. Gramma". Good with WSB nulled. 2053 miles. Also tentative logs of Colombia on 770 and another Venezuelan on 910 but no IDS on what seemed to be a good Latin American evening. John Cereghin Smyrna DE

Yes I did notice last night was good to the Caribbean and South America. 750 Caracas is a very dependable station from South America. They get out quite well over WSB ....especially in the Long Winter Nights!! Logging them in August is extra special!! Glad to see you cracked the 2000 mile barrier.....I've logged the 750 and the 770 stations on ULR Radios....but I've never heard the 910 Venezuelan.....try and get an ID on that one...that would be a nice logging !!! Congratulations on the fine loggings..... Regards....ROB. Robert S. Ross VA3SW Box 1003, Stn. B.

John,
Congratulations! Quite an accomplishment! When I lived in North Carolina, some of the Venezuelan stations were "semi- regulars" on my Realistic TRF, but that was back in the late '70's before the FCC allowed the band to get clogged up. Anyway, what's your target for breaking the 2500 mile barrier? :0) 73 & Great DX, Steve N5WBI Houston TX

Hello John,
Congratulations on your outstanding reception of
YVKS-750, at 2053 miles. That is certainly a great accomplishment, and I'm
sure you will make a 2500+ mile reception soon.
Here in Washington state, we have little hope of
logging Venezuela on an Ultralight, although we (John Bryant, Guy Atkins, Dennis
Vroom and I) are lucky enough to live near Grayland, where Ultralights
can log South Pacific DX with some serious mileage. John B. is
at Grayland right now, otherwise I'm sure he would congratulate you
personally.
Keep up the great work, and go get those
TA's.
73, Gary

My goal for 2500 miles? Anything European. :)

Saudi Arabia on 1521 should be a slam-dunk. Of course it's easy up

here in the Boston area but I actually heard it on a Sony '2010 during a business trip in Dec. 1986 from my room at the Residence Inn next to the airport in El Paso, Texas. It was muscling KOMA-1520 aside. Other than that, you could try for Canaries on 621. This hits the southeastern US pretty well. Spain on 585, 684, 774, 855, 1044, 1098, 1116 et al. should be in there too. Saudi Arabia counts as Asia, Canaries as Africa, and Spain as Europe so you should be able to knock off these 3 continents without much sweat. Mark Connelly, WA1ION - Billerica, MA
