Last month, The DX TOUR launched its 6th year off the great Mt. Washington
up in NH.  And what a launch it was.
2m and 6m were ripe with great contacts deep into NJ and NY with operators
such as KO2OK, KD2BMX, N2DY, N2QEN, KC2SGH, and many others.
 Rover-extraordinaire WB2SIH added to the excitement from Lake George.
 KC2KAE was lighting up the interwebs by spotting
stations and became the official Tour Master of Ceremonies.  Canadian VE2's
and VE3's stopped in.  VHF/UHF celebrities such as N1UJS graced us with
their presence.  The ground wave gods even allowed 250 air mile + contacts
to stations in the Catskills and deep into PA with operators such as
KB3YEJ.   Rover mobile N2EDR took to Garrett Mountain in NJ and expanded
the radius of radio excitement. Heard K2PIC on his new wire dipole. Overall
nearly 80 stations.   It was the hobby at its very best.

*Next up* is the Northeast's second most mightiest mountain....*Whiteface
Mountain in the Adirondacks* NY (north of Lake Placid).   4,867 feet of
radio contact possibility....and once again we'll be setting up on various
