I've hit the 2000 DXCC challenge points a while back and finally sent away for my 2000 medallion. Took a lot longer than to go from 1000 to 1500! There are 3400 max possible if you work all 340 entities on all 10 bands (6-160m), which is pretty much impossible. Next stop 2500!

QSL Card of the day. Today I got confirmation of my 70cm Satellite contact with Greece via the now "kaput" (SK) GreenCube IO-117. I really miss working stations on this bird. Hope someone launches another one like it. But would settle for a geostationary one as well.

I have two 2m Yagi antennas and I use this super simple homebrew device to switch polarity at the antenna. Horizontal for SSB (ex. FT8) and Vertical for FM modes. The other end is a simple VHF capable antenna switch a the base. I labeled it V and H. Simple is good!
