Earl (Oink,Oink), N5ZM, has provided updated DXCC Standings information.  Earl has managed to scrape up 12 new band counters since his last update.  He added two new entities on 80M to raise his total to 296.  As far as I can remember, most  of those were collected using a 80M Inverted Vee with the apex at about 50ft.  It’s all about being there when amazing propagation opens to remote places. Earl also added five new ones on 6M to move up to 134 on the Magic Band.  He even found two new ones on 10M to reach 345.  Earl now stands at 2973 for the Desoto Challenge and 27 away from the “3K” club.   

Very nice progress Earl.  Keep on truckin’ and we’re all  hoping you find at least 27 more.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

73,
