Hi Tom and well done with the contacts but am afraid it’s only 2 points , one for France and one for Italy
Only your first Italian contact counts all subsequent ones don’t
Cheers

Craig, Enjoying chasing the countries again on 10, the last time I used to was back in the 80s in the RADCOM 28 MHz list! Perhaps I’ve missed it but I can’t recall anyone mentioning a closing date for this little competition. Are we going until the end of August, September or October as at some point I need to keep my hand in on Freeband
Cheers, John

Nice one John and it’s certainly good fun , I am exactly like you atm missing out on a spot of 11m @ the exspense of searching 10m although I can monitor 555 and watch the band scope on 10 @ the same time Sadly my 101 can’t TX on 11 but the urge to solder that bridge is getting stronger and stronger lol
Hopefully Al will be running out of dxcc to chase soon and we can make some ground
Craig
Ps will update the table tomorrow evening

I still haven’t managed a DL yet so hopefully I’ll get at least one more country ITL before August 31! Yes, I would be tempted to wideband the 101, I’ve got a FT 817 & a IC 703 here both have been widebanded.
I keep thinking about getting a 100 Watt rig for the homebase, but the XYL has been retired since Xmas, so now it’s a lot more difficult for to get things delivered here without her noticing!

I think the points only count when you join the CT 10M dxcc summer challenge. If you're joining in from today you will have to start at zero. Not going back into your log to the 1st April.

Yes Tim has been in from the start so no problem
Great to work you on 40m a few weeks back Tim, sorry I didn’t realise who you were at the time but will do in the future
Cheers
