At the end of the CQ WW Wpx
As always the CQWW Contests are a great source of entertainment and also a great chance to increase your DXCC totalsβ¦. This one was no different
This year I operated in a S & P (search and pounce) mode for approximately 8 hours in total. The rig I used was my Yaesu FT991a and the antenna of choice was my βModifiedβ Coastal-20 vertical antenna

I made 42 contacts in 22 DXCC entities covering 4 continents (NA/SA/AF/EU) using 10m-15m and 20m
I was able to contact stations in:
Alaska, Argentina, Aruba, Bonaire, Brazil, Canada, Canary Islands, England, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovenia, St Lucia, Turkey (Turkiye), United States of America

Now if everyone confirms I believe that there will be one new DXCC for my DXCC totals, but also there should be a couple of new ones for my 5 Band DXCC which I am hoping to complete sooner or later but most likely later
More on this once the confirmations come in via either LoTW, QRZ.com or EQSL.
For now its back to Playing POTAβ¦
