I had an ambitious set of goals for 2023:

• Teach a class (either Technician or CW Academy)
• Participate in 120+ CWTs for the CWops Gold Medal
• Build my QRP-Labs QDX Digital Transceiver
• Activate 10 new parks in CT or obtain award for hunting 1000 parks
• Obtain 50 States Parks on the Air award

I completed four of the five, only failing to build the QDX transceiver.  It sits on my desk and perhaps will come to life in 2024.  I did complete 145 CWTs (actually 146 but I forgot to submit a log for one of them).  I also taught a Technician class in the spring of 2023.  For POTA I did get the WAS award, and hunted more than 1000 parks.

For 2024, I think I’m going to dial things back a bit, but here we go:

• Hunt 1500+ POTA parks
• Do at least one activation with the Elecraft KH1 hand-held QRP rig
• Give a radio club presentation on solar power/batteries
• Compete in 120+ CWTs
• Wildcard (like finish the QDX or some other ham related project)
