[TVARC] Back to Bragging Wall

[Frank M]

Time to come back to the wall.

I reset my DXCC efforts in late May of this year when I returned to ham radio (after 25 year break).

My inputs to the club DXCC have been based on all contacts since late May.

I now have 130 Unique DX countries BUT, more importantly, I just achieved 100% complete LoTW confirmation on 100 countries for DXCC Mixed. I am closing in on DXCC Digital with 93 LoTW confirmations and that is since beginning of Sept this year.

I was hoping that Montserrat would be 100 but it turned out to be Belize.

As a note:

I just made contact with 3XY4D from Guinea on 17M FT8. WSJT-X has a known issue with this call sign and is working on a fix. You can NOT just click on his call and return a call to his CQ. WSJT-X does not recognize 3XY4D as a legitimate call sign(It is a legitimate call sign) and therefore treats it as a free text message.  Until WSJT-X comes up with a fix, it will be near impossible to complete a valid QSO with him on digital.
