Hi guys, I very recently succeeded in reaching the 2100 slots for the DXCC challenge, mostly thanks to my last 30m (Sept 2012) and even more recently 160m (Oct 2012) addition, and regardless of the mode used. DXCC challenge was, untill now, not something...

Lire la suiteUpdate 17th of May: Only 88 QSO's logged on 80m from the beginning of their expedition which is my only interest there. Needless to say this is neither NOT their priority (they made over 53k QSO's so far....), nor acceptable conditions for them. Hummmm,...
