Thanks for the info. 2WEB 585 used to be not as common with 2KW. I QSL'd them back in the 80s or 90s.

> In these days when in practically takes an Act of Congress (or Parliament?) to get a QSL from a transoceanic MW-DX station, David Sharp (the program director) of 585-2WEB in Bourke, Australia is asking for DX reports from North America. Since assuming his duties at the "Outback Radio" station quite a few years ago David has only received two reports from North America-- from Nigel in Alberta, and from me (actually I never even sent him a report, but since he is a member of our Ultralightdx group, he heard a 585-2WEB recording from one of my Cliffhanger DXpeditions, and sent me a verification letter and bumper stickers out of the blue). For those of you with the resources and ability to track down the 10 kW Australian station, Dave's request is forwarded below:

If anyone heard us in the Midwest or ECNA it would be a record. FWIW- I have not issued any QSLs since your last reception as reports from DXers are scant.
