Earl, N5ZM, (Current record holder for number of DX Hog awards received) has provided his 2024 year-end report.

Earl, rooted around and found a new one on 80M to raise his 80M total to 294.  He also picked up four new ones on 6M to bump his total to 129.

He had also hoped to make 200 Confirmed on 60M by years end but ended up at 198.  So, Earl is hoggish even on bands that don’t count for DXCC!

That puts Earl at 2961 for the Desoto Challenge.   He says that “Just for Fun” he checked his Challenge total with “Deleted Entities” included and that total was 3013.

Just find those last 31 Earl!

73,

Pat, W5VY
