[OKDXA] 6 Meter DXCC

[Roger Simpson]

Jeff:    

It is quite an accomplishment to have a DXCC on 6 meters.  My DXCC count on 6m is a whopping 5 countries. 

I do have DXCCs on 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, and 80 – but not 60.   I would guess that getting a DXCC on 6m is at least an order of magnitude [i.e. a factor of ten] more difficult than any of the HF bands  -- 10 meters thru 80 meters. 

I have a relatively rare DXCC for “RTTY” that I got back in 2006.  Now that same award is called “DIGITAL”. I don’t know anyone still using RTTY that uses mechanical Teletype machines. My RTTY DXCC is serial number 1582 dated April 7, 2006

    Today, I received 6 meter DXCC Certificate #2214 from the ARRL... So, 
I now have DXCC Certificates for the 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, and 
6 meter bands. I also have over 100 countries confirmed on 60 meters. I 
have 77 confirmed on 160 meters, so still have some work to do on that 
band, and I need a better antenna... It's been fun...
