Jerry - They may not count for DXCC but they still count for certain grid awards. In fact, at least one award program (www.gapawards.com) has a special category for "wet" grids that don't contain any

Congratulations, Jerry. EM91 is a tough one, though EM71 was my last for GA. As for other tough ones, here is my list: CN98 - last one for WA EL59 - last one for LA FN56 and FN65 - last ones for ME EN

Dick - Thanks for posting this. FWIW, I need three of the grids you've posted: DM95, DM86, and DM56. Does "stopping point" mean you will be spending the night there, and thus might expect to be on the

I'm not an expert on "big data manipulation", but I know my way around Excel pretty well. So I took on Jerry and David's challenge, and here are the results. There are just over 2.2 million QSOs in th

Sorry, Barry. I guess you don't count for anything. :-) Steve W3HF

Barry - On a serious note, I really like Rick's idea of a wild card. Would make you very popular. Steve

Justin - There are two parts of the setup of an "external soundcard" interface like the SignaLink: the computer side and the radio side. (Sorry if that was a "doh!") As others have pointed out, the ra

Dick - Thanks. I'll try to be on just before 0900 CDT / 1000 EDT / 1400z looking for you. I presume your usual 20m, around 14072. And let me echo the warning from Rick N7WE. We have family near Melbou
