This is really good Scott. Great to have a goal and a list to work down toward that goal. Thanks for sharing.

ADXA folks - How are your goals progressing?? If you look at the upcoming DXpedition list for this fall/winter there are some very nice ones on tap and more will likely be announced. Get those to-do lists going and if you don't have a goal(s), set some then you know what to do:

GET IN THERE AND WORK 'EM!!!

For those of you headed to Dayton - C U there. I'll be at Contest University on Thursday and in the IARU booth in the ARRL Expo area Friday and Saturday.

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.

 

73,
