Editor, CQ,
Until I read George Tranos, N2GA's, "Contesting" column in December 2012's CQ I had never considered the joy and challenges "being DX" during a contest can be. With the backdrop of the "Azores Nine Island Hunt," he certainly gave me a perspective I'd never considered.
N2GA has inspired me to hunt for a DX location for the next CQ World Wide SSB Contest and try to improve my skills as a DX chaser.
Thank you and 1001001,
