DX 1: VK9DWX and 9L1X: worked some more last weekend. And worked some more USA on 30m too. Fun!
DX 2: JIDX CW 2008: results are already out (link). Country winner yet again. No I wasn’t the only ON one to submit a log this year. Yet another nice certificate…
DX 3: CQ WW DX SSB. For the fourth year in a row SB20. I don’t like SSB enough for a 48hr all band effort. I’ve had it with 20m but what to do with current propagation? SB40 in SSB? Thanks but no thanks! I hope propagation on 14 MHz will offer some nice openings. A modest JA pile up and a few long lasting +100/hr rates into USA would certainly be welcome. Probably it’ll be a drag once again with no real openings and no high rates.
Here’s how I did in the previous years (CLAIMED score from my log):
| Year | QSO | Zone | DXCC | Score | Setup |
| 2005 | 1256 | 30 | 90 | 324230 | KLM KT34XA + 500W |
| 2006 | 1507 | 35 | 114 | 420031 | KLM KT34XA + 1 kW |
| 2007 | 1360 | 32 | 107 | 378219 | OB11-3 + 1kW |
