[IRCA] Current UltraLight Distance Records

There have not been many changes in the "Firsts" area these last 48 
hours, but we've had several additions to the Record Distances, so 
here is the current list.

I know that the word wrap and elimination of BOLD and other 
formatting on IRCA makes this list hard to read.  Colin Newell and I 
are going to be working on having the list updated weekly on DXer.ca 
soon and the current list, as of next Sunday will be published in a 
very readable format in the IRCA bulletin that comes out three days 
later.  In the meantime, here are the current UltraLight Distance Records.

Congratulations to all of the new record holders, but especially to 
Tacoma's Pete Taylor who has established the first records at 250 
watts and below with a Eureka California station running 110 watts at 
over 450 miles. That is .25 watts per mile into a $14 shirt pocket 
radio. AMAZING!

Each distance category is defined as addressing receptions from 
stations that do not exceed the listed power. Thus Rob Ross' 
reception of WXTR held the 500 watt class record, despite operating 
at night with just under 400 W.

*This special category is limited to reception within the continental 
limits of Canada and the USA. This stricture eliminates DXers and 
stations in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, among others.

Each Record Class contains two categories :Barefoot and Super Modified
** Indicates a record in the Super-Modified Category

At least for the present, previous holders of a particular record 
will be maintained on the list to indicate the history and 
development of that record. The current record logging is listed last.

If the interest is there in the next few months, we may add:
A "Domestic DX" Class for DXers' receptions within Canada and the USA
A "Graveyard DX" Class for receptions on 1230, 1240, 1340, 1400, 1450 
and 1490 "local" channels
