In the big scheme of things, you are very right.  I'm only at 55% of the 3,400 challenge points available.  Kinda like FFMA.  Out of 488 Grid Squares in the Lower 48, I only need 10 more.

Congratulations! When you are over 1900, I would guess the Challenge points get a bit harder. I was pretty amazed at 80 meters last night. I kept jumping to 160 thinking it may open up also, but no luck there. 


Congrats

When I fired up the station time morning I was on 40m from last night.  I just started calling CQ and DU0A answered me.  I noticed he had just worked a California (?) station before.  It was a quick 1-2-3 and done.  Another challenge point (1903) to add to my list.  

And then he was gone.  The curse of "JJJ" as we've witnessed for some time.  Always work a DX before me for best chance.  I guess my 100w blows up their receivers.
