January 2010 Wrap-Up
3 February 2010 | by Almost all of my activity in January was limited to contests (RTTY Roundup, PSKFest, NAQP SSB, and BARTG Sprint) which accounted for a lot of new states on 80m and 40m but not too many new countries.
DXCC: Made a big leap from 29 to 42 countries worked on 40m. Worked 2 new (all-band) countries — Iceland (TF) on 40m PSK and Sweden (SM) on 20m CW.
WAS: The NAQP Phone test boosted my 80m WAS total from 1 state to 28 in a single night, as well as bumping my all-band phone state count from 19 to 43. The RTTY Roundup at the beginning of January netted me 30 new states on that mode.
WAZ: No new zones overall, but I added 4 zones each on CW and RTTY modes, and one new zone on PSK.
Stats through 31-Jan-2010:
All | 80m | 40m | 30m | 20m | 17m | 15m | Ph | CW | Dig | |
DXCC | 80 | 2 | 42 | 10 | 66 | 12 | 20 | 52 | 5 | 62 |
