I think the Kitsap County DX Club should pat them selves on their backs --? for a small group we really did well.? I am still trying to figure out how I can find the two QSO that I didn’t get credit for.? I think one of them was Sicily, I notice it is not listed in my CLUB LOG recorded QSOs. I made error when I logged JE2MVP and put J32MVP – I went back and fixed it, but since CLUB Log takes my contact right off the first log entry, it has me with a J3 QSO, No J3 QSO in 2023…? ?

325 claimed points, 285 entities, 40 zones for W1YY ? That said, 2 claimed countries will likely be rejected (both probably pirates), but still my best score yet. ? It was fun, and is a great way to stimulate continued interest in dxing, ? HNY to all, ? 73, Jim? W1YY

Good job Dan. Maybe there is hope for me yet.

Friends,
Dave was hospitalized yesterday for treatment of a condition that
requires immediate attention. Dave asked me to let you know that it is
not a life-threatening situation, but that he expects to be away from
fixing, building and responding to questions for about a week.
