59 YEARS IN THE ACHIEVING

Actually, I have been seriously pursuing DX for only 14 years. The rest of the time was leisurely. I got my 330th contact from Libya, but it took about 4 months to get the confirmation once he got a USA QSL manager. Otherwise, the response was that the mail was slow out of Libya. The picture is of me in front of my Rohn 45 foot tower holding the 6-element 20-meter Force 12 MAG620 beam and with a 7-element 6-meter M2 6M7 beam above it. Nine more entities to go.
