Re: [IRCA] Congratulations to DXpedition Partner Tom R.

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for this news Gary and congrats to Tom!  Someone has finally found the secret to wide-band recorded DX at Rockworks.  Maybe more of us will come now?!

Not to take anything away from this awesome achievement, but in fairness to Grayland - when there was one - I show 64 NZ stations heard from there during my July 2014 DXpedition:

Seems to me even tying a record held by Grayland is quite an achievement.

In addition he also came away with multiple Longwave NDB and DGPS stations from the South Pacific, including several that had never been reported from North America. Congratulations, Tom-- you have turned into an exceptional "Cliffhanger DXer!"
