Bill, K5FUV, has provided updated DXCC Standing information.  He has been working some DX!  He added new band counters on all bands 160 through 6.  Bill has 62 new ones on 12M since his last update.  He also added 24 on 17M.  His new Desoto Challenge number is 2152, a gain of 146.  Apparently Bill hasn’t been “Watching Oprah” during good band openings! 

There was a 6M opening to ZL from EM12 (DFW area) this evening.  I saw a spot from Jim, K5ND, that he worked ZL1AKW on 50.313/FT8 at 0204UTC.  I was in Little Rock celebrating my youngest Grandson’s 6^th Birthday.  He is my best shot for a Junior Op.  He like Legos, Star Wars and flying RC planes….and he asks lots of questions about how things work!
