Jeff:
Working WAS on every band 160 meters thru 2 meters is absolutely mind 
blowing! I thought that the Triple Play award for QSLing each state once 
per each mode [CW, Phone, Digital] was a difficult task. There are 
"only" about 2,000 Triple Play awards out there. I noticed Coy N5OK got 
his Triple Play award a about a month ago.

But to get WAS on all bands must be exceedingly rare. I wonder how many 
people, besides you, have WAS on all bands --- 160m to 2m?

I decided to spend some of my Covid "lockdown" time by working on DXCC 
awards on various bands. I've had DXCC awards for 40m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 
and 12m for a few years.  In the last month I added single band  DXCC 
awards for 80m and 30m. I'm still working on the 10m DXCC award.

I still need DPRK, Bouvet, Pratas, Johnston Island, Crozet, Kerguelen, 
San Felix & Ambrosio, and Turkmenistan to have worked all DXCC entities. 
I've heard rumors about a possible effort to activate Bouvet after the 
two aborted attempts. But I am not aware of any possibility that the 
other entities I need are likely to be activated.  But at least I worked 
Scarborough and Peter I which are considered fairly "rare".
