Well...230 and only half way thru the 30 Days is Amazing stuff Paul. I Know 
how hard it is/was to log 300 in 30 days......so I appreciate what you have 
done already!!! Good luck ...and I am sure you can find another 70 stations 
before the month is up.  I hope you smash my record all to bits.....I think 
it's great you are trying!! We have to stretch the limits of our 
ULR's......to see just what can be accomplished with them!! Good 
luck....and go get 'em!!

Nothing wrong with a 4,000 Miler on "ANY RADIO" Paul.

Well....I'd like to "Rediscover Europe" on my ULR Paul.....think you can 
send a few of those EURO-SIGNALS over this way so I can log them on my 
ULR!!! AHAHHAHHA....

Thanks for checking in with us....and please drop by on the reflector often 
to let us know how you are doing...and what you're hearing!! Have you heard 
anything from this side of the Pond on your ULR yet?? Also....what are you 
using as a ULR??? See if you can get a few more of the boys over there 
going  with ULR DX'ing.......the more the merrier!! A lot of guys over here 
think we're a bunch of Wackos?? HAHHAHA.....but we're having fun...and it 
looks like you are too!!

Good DX Paul.........I hope to see some records broken by you in the ULR 
Category!! Have Fun.....

73.ROB.
