I have never gone i n too much f o r ver i f icat ions, because at f i r s t f f e l t that I could not afrord them, & even nos can't take too much time f o r writ ing f o r them. But the past few months I nave made a card index of all s ta t ions he3rd since 1934, & i n June of t h i s year, had cards f o r 1438 s ta t ions; must be close to 1500 by now, tho. Maybe 100 veries. Remember Radexp I s t i l l have several copies of them. S t i l l show off my Victor,. R d i o Club c a ~ d ; belonged to the URDXC until it dropped BCB. Have be- longed to the NNAC since then, & now have hoinad another good club. Although the SX- 43 has most wave bands, my DXing i s done s t r i c t l y on the BCB.
