Getting these two in was pretty cool since I broke the 1800 band/country
confirmed barrier. I have enough outstanding to break 1900, but I have
only worked 1925 so I have a long way to go to get 2000! I'm going to
have to get cracking on 160/30/6 meters which are my non DXCC bands now.
All three bands are somewhat painful:

160-Lack of real estate and no lack of noise, I've only worked 63
30-Lack of a good CW fist, I've only worked 96
6-Lack of sunspots and patience, I've only worked 17

Luckily, each time I achieve one goal, there seem to be several more
that loom in front of me! I guess I'll plan on stopping when I've worked
them all on every band and mode. Hmmm VU4 on 160M QRP SSTV should be a
challenge!
