[DX] Which will I close out first

[Allan & Bridget]

Just to make things interesting I'll guess the following:  (mine being worth
double that of N1NK's).  =)

Most Likely:  VP8/South Orkney...LU1ZA is somewhat active and there is talk
of new ops going there as well.

Next:  VK9X  It seems that there are quite a few DXpeditions to Christmas
Island.  There have been more to Willis than I have seen in the past, but
VK9W doesn't seem to be visited as frequently.

"Wild Card" is a good description for Monk Apollo...he was spotted during
the ARRL 10m contest, but don't know whether or not this was for real.
Otherwise, the last time he was spotted was in November, so he is still
active.  I would put Mt. Athos on par with VK9W.  I actually checked into a
net to get this one, because I had never seen him work through a pileup on
his own (although I've since learned that he will operate solo).

Less Likely:  YV0 (Aves).  While this should be an easy one, it seems that
it's not often frequented.  I still need this one.  =)

Least Likely:  VP8/South Sandwich.  The last time this entity was activated
(in1992?) I wasn't licensed.  I remember that my husband worked South
Georgia, because I told him that the noise I heard on the radio *had* to be
the South Georgia group because the pileup was so big.  He missed the South
Sandwich leg of that trip but fortunately we both got them this time around.
It seems that there is a ten year cycle on this entity, and it does look
like a nasty place to visit.

2002 made for some really amazing DX stories, and maybe we'll find that 2003
will do the same.

Best wishes for happy holidays to all!
