[KCDXC] DXCC Stats de NW0L

[Marty Tippin]

I got my General ticket on the Saturday of CQWW Phone "way back" in 1997. 
Ran home and started working the contest, though I had no idea what I was 
doing. Fourth QSO in my log is FO8DX. I worked 15 countries that first day. 
Needless to say, I was hooked on DX.

I worked about 90 countries in that first few months, before "they" told me 
that the 1/2 size homebrew G5RV laying on the roof of my house wouldn't 
possibly work any DX... I'm not sure I worked any farther than Tonganoxie 
on it after that. Finally moved to another house about a year later and put 
up a "killer" antenna farm consisting of wires in the back yard and a 
tribander on the roof. I'm a force to be reckoned with now...



Here's my brag sheet, should be fairly accurate, though I've got a 6 inch 
high stack of buro cards to go through one of these days - doubt there are 
any significant new ones in there however...


	WRK  CFM
Mixed  222  190
Phone  212  175
CW      31    2  Ha! It'd be even less without my CW decoder...
RTTY   123   95


BAND TOTALS (Mixed mode)
160m     2    2  Double Ha! I'm not sure what else besides USA that I've 
worked on 160.
  80m    14   14
  40m    40   25
  20m   158  127
  17m    19   13
  15m   134   93
  12m    10    5
  10m   153   93


I also show 78 6m Grid squares worked and 66 confirmed. Haven't been on 6m 
in probably 3 years and was only on for about 6 months before the neighbors 
became too irate to deal with any longer.

39 of 40 CQ Zones confirmed (missing zone 34 of all things). All 6 
continents confirmed.

Worked all states on 80m and 40m phone within the first 6 months of getting 
my ticket. Also show WAS on 40m and 20m RTTY.
