27 years ago, I began DX chasing ... this QTH had 
.81 acres and lots of 50 foot hardwood trees for 
wire antennas ... a 5-band Hex-Beam in 2008 had
an amazing effect on my "worked" statistic ... 

Now that I have snagged 30YK for number 331, I 
finally can apply for DXCC Honor Roll ... 

Very 73 ... Wey - K8EAB ...

I was happy working them for ATNO using just 80 watts and a wire in a tree

Way to go Jim.  Your story makes me remember my first years as an amateur with minimum equipment and only a wire antenna. I am glad you had the thrill of working this one.
