I made Nikola Tesla an area of special study when I was attending electronics trade school. The papers I wrote earned me extra credit in some of my classes.

To this day, I still find it amazing how few people know just how important Tesla was to society, and that many people still think Marconi invented radio. Even if Tesla hadn't invented the basic building blocks of radio, Fessenden still would have preceeded Marconi.

Thanks Paul, I didn't realize that they were moving to different counties each month. I worked 9A150NT on Feb 18th on 20 meters, and have heard them several other times on 20, but didn't try to reach them a second or third time.

Why try for more than 1 DX contact on the same band to the same callsign ?

But, if they are moving around thats a different story.
Have to check out the website.

Thanx again,
