Hey Guys:
I'm just having fun loggin' 'em.....If I qualify for some Prestigious
Award or end up in the SRF-59 Hall of Shame as a result.......then all I
can say is OLE!!!
It's all just fun anyway......but it is kinda neat that we can break it
down into something that makes us look like "Great DX'ers!!"!! Only kidding....
Since John is the Originator of the Awards.....and You Gary are the Reason
that all of this is going on.....I nominate both of you as the "Official
Sony SRF-59 Country Awards Committee". You guys hash it out....and let us
know what the rules are .....I can live with whatever you come up with.
That's of couse, as long as I don't lose any of my Trophies earned so far!!
HAHAHHHAA....again...Only kidding....about the trophy Part!!
I know some of the guys with these things have been using them a little
longer than me....has anyone heard over 100 Stations yet??? I'm sure I can
break the 100 Mark tonight.....if I put a couple more hours of listening
in.....we'll see what happens??
Haven't had this much fun since I bought the Radio Shack DX-60 back in
1975....my first Brand New DX machine!!
Salute.ROB.
