Today my DX count is at 214. Only 117 to go to Honor Roll--light at the end of the tunnel :-). So this weekend I made two short lists of entities large enough, perhaps to catch without a major DXpedition--about 60 entities for me.
I made one short list grouped by Prefix and including bearings (since I now have a beam).
The other list I grouped by bearing (from my station) starting with 0° North and going around the compass face clockwise. This also allows me to learn to associate a general bearing with several entities in the direction.
The idea behind the two lists is to make a quick reference if I see a time-critical opportunity pop up unexpectedly.
Anyway, I thought some of you, especially newcomers, might find something like this helpful. I'm all the time making lists for bands and awards--it's how I track what I am chasing. I just like lists. LOL
2 Lists are attached.
