Congrats Dennis!
I just made 8BWAS with 80M too . . . barefoot with shortened 160-30M antennas in my 75 x 35' back yard.  I made a concerted effort late and early local time almost every day.

Met one of my goals....PU3MEM was #100 to confirm on 80M.  That makes 8 band DXCC so now I guess it's time to get more serious about 160 next winter.  I also worked Elvira on 15, and will be looking for her on the low bands.  Plenty more unworked on 80!

A couple more confirmed, bringing me up to 1652 Challenge points.  Watch out, George, in 5 or 6 more years, I might catch you!

73,
