Holy crap!  LOL...

I don't think I'll ever have enough gas and time to ever finish that  
one!!!

Talk about an achievement, though -- whew!  All grid squares, but you  
have to move to within 200 km of every one before you make the contact?

Wowzers... I think I'd need about a lifetime to even START on that!   
But I'm sure with some planning and prep one could figure out the  
mimimum number of vehicle moves necessary to get it done and then  
start drumming up contacts in those grids YEARS in advance.

(Time for some stunned silence... did Fred actually DO this?  Wow.   
Was he a traveling salesman, or truck driver or own a helicopter or  
something?  Haha...)

Well anyway, no disrespect meant... never knew him, but RIP Fred...  
sounds like you were a 6m "operator extraordinaire"...
