Since there will be no monthly meeting, hence no round table brag session, I thought I would start off with one here and maybe others will be disposed to chime in.

Although I'm not a contester, looking for a challenge I thought to participate in the ARRL International SSB DX contest with the idea of trying to work a 20-meter DXCC (unassisted) during the contest.  Unfortunately, although I worked everything I heard, I never heard 100 countries on 20 and came up far short of the goal; working only 81.

But I did dabble on the other bands and worked 8 on 160, 11 on 80, 10 on 40, 22 on 15 and even 4 on 10-meters.  All together I worked 136 countries, on SSB at the bottom of the sunspot cycle. So a phone DXCC in a weekend.  There were even a few semi-rare prefixes; 4O, 4X, E7 (40-meters), ER, JT, HB0 and V8.
