[OKDXA] Top DXpeditions

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

Here is the data I found concerning a question a couple of weeks ago about DXpeditions making over 100,000 QSOs.

18        2002      5U4R      5U        57111
19        2000      VP6BR     VP6       53849
20        1998      3B7RF     3B7       53518

23        2002      VK9ML     VK9M      50950
24        2005      K7C       KH7K      50059

I listed the 3B9C as 153,000+ because for some reason that DXpedition was left off of the list.  I know they had slightly more than 153,000 QSOs, but not sure how many.  Of these DXpeditions, I worked all but the VK0IR, A52A, XZ0Z, FT5XO, 3Y0PI, 3B7RF, and K7C ones.  I already had KH7 confirmed so didn't go after K7C too hard, but would have liked them on CW.  And I did get 3B6RF later to make up for the 3B7 I missed.  

It will be interesting to see where the 3Y0X finished.  I have seen another Top DXpedition list that included P5RS7 as "Near North Korea".  Did any club members work that one?
