I'm happy right now. I reached my goal of 250 DXCC LoTW only confirmations. The next natural goal is 300, but I think that will take a while. In the meantime I'm working on getting 100 or more on 15M, 12M and 10M as well as LoTW WAS. The last two new confirmations were EX8AB worked on 30M CW and Z21BB worked on 15M CW.

On Thursday I worked KH7XS on 20M SSB for our fourth band. He was strong as always. ZK3OU and ZP6/N3BNA were worked on 20M CW. 8P9RY was worked on 17M RTTY and he uploaded the log quickly to LoTW. On Friday I worked Z21BB on 15M for #224 and he was quick to upload the log on LoTW to give me #250. Thank you. I tried to work him the evening before on 30M, but he didn't hear me then. I did hear CE0Y/LA9SN on 12M CW, but the signal was just too weak for me. I also tried 8P9RY on 12M CW, but I couldn't break the pile-up. On Saturday I worked ZK3YA on 20M CW. I did try to work Z21BB on 12M, but couldn't make myself heard. ZK3OU was in on 17M, but signal just wasn't strong enough that I could break the pile-up.
