Hi TVARCers,

It’s that time once more to get the results of all your hard work collecting countries, states, and now POTA sites.

One big change: There once was a time when FT8 was new and unique and turned out to be immediately popular, and it made sense to plot our progress with this mode separately from the other modes.  But I guess now, over time, and for obvious reasons, FT8 may have become the overwhelming favorite for DX chasers.  What has resulted has been a very close tracking of folks’ DXCC (Mixed Mode) and DXCC (FT8/FT4), so much so, that the differences really don’t mean all that much.  Accordingly, from here on in we’ll just have a single DXCC Standings list, dropping the separate FT8 one. 

I’ll be looking for your DXCC count, regardless of mode, your WAS totals, and our new POTA #of unique parks worked, as well as any activations you’ve made in the last month.

Please have your submission to me by noon on Wednesday if you wish to be included this month.

73, Pete, K2PS
