Honor Roll  -- and in particular "Top of the Honor Roll" -- is one area that I would hope NEVER succumbs to calls to lower standards just to let more folks experience it!  Tee-ball and first-year sports for the youngest should be the only chance at the proverbial participation trophy.

I'm not being a defeatist, but to be honest (like George), I wasted a lot of the years in this hobby not chasing DX hard enough. I can PEACEFULLY say I don't remotely expect to reach the TOP.  Full stop.  That's MY PROBLEM, or reward -- depending on how you look at it.  At this point in my ham life cycle ... Honor Roll itself is a STRETCH.  But we all need goals, LOL !!!  I'll keep trying till I no longer can ...

Greetings ADXA Folks,

 

April is quickly moving into history. As I’ve noted before, the past several years I’ve been a 160-meter DX enthusiast in my goal to hit the 300 DXCC mark on that band, currently at 290. The low band season starts to fade this time of year and my mind focusses on other amateur radio and personal interests. I’m quite excited with all the DX activity on the bands and within ADXA. Everyone is racking up nice band countries as well as all time new ones.

 

This morning I was watching the YouTube video of the Visalia DX Forum.
