Re: [IRCA] Logging a complete state





Well, over the years, I have managed to log all stations in some states at the time. Of course, there has been a lot of changes.

Bill, that very good!
I grew up in Texas, and while living just out side of Dallas, I logged all 254 counties. With the exception of about 20. Those counties did not have radio stations. Never heard ALL the radio stations in Texas.

While here in Maryland, I heard all of Delaware and Maryland.
That isn't much to brag about from Delaware. With only 3 counties and a hand full of stations. In 1966 while stationed at Norfolk, VA I logged all stations from Delaware using a portable radio I bought at the PX.

I also managed to hear all of the stations in South Korea while DXing in Seoul.
Aboard the U.S.S. OZARK, while crossing the Atlantic on the way to northern Europe, I used the R-390 in the ICman shack to hear European, African and South America. I even have a QSL from WFAA-820 heard while underway in the English channel.

Remember I have been a DXer for over 40 years.
Bill, I started AM BCB DXing 1952. All that means is that I am old.

It is pssible that I got the idea of DXing all counties in a state from being a counties hunter on 10 meters ham radio. I havent heard all the stations in Tennesse. Have the lions share of the southern states, with the exception of Kentucky.
