Yes, I was trying to work DX. At first it was about half US and half DX, even though the beam was pointed at Europe. I saw the other K2B on 20 called out and felt a little awkward being on the same band! However, after about 10 minutes, I started asking DX
in the call and refused to answer any stateside and had a good time. Not as fast as 40 has been but 92 contacts in an hour and 20 minutes, almost all of them DX. Seemed to have a pipeline to 9H1 and Milan, Italy!? Several thanked me for operating for DX as
they have been searching for the 13 colonies special event. I apologize sincerely if I stepped on anyone's toes, but I may try to work more 20 ssb DX
Warmest Regards and 73's,

So, using N1MM+ and the DX Contest , which field in the entry window gets the QTH value?

I had a thought - If everyone could update their slots with the frequency, once established, it would make it easier for the next shift to find you - especially on the bands where the possibility of hearing some else in VA would be almost impossible! ?And easier
to spot you on QRZ
Just a thought . . ..?

I picked up K2B on 40 phone from John at 10 am and ran pretty steadily until noon. Spotted myself twice. Made 312 contacts (one is a duplicate), for a rate of 156 an hour.
Got called by WM3PEN with an old friend at the mic.
Gosh that's fun! 73, Kay N3KN
