Thanks Victor,To say this has become an obsession at times would be an understatement.Morning before work,Lunchtime at work and radio after work.It just goes to show how much frequency space there is on 11 Metres and what fantastic contacts everyone has made during this challenge.I think my best one so far was a Lobster fisherman at sea in The Gulf of Mexico.Al is right as the different divisions get logged the harder it seems to become finding one for the challenge log,But we’re moving into spring now so propagation will start to change and hopefully I’ll log 68 division Northern Ireland lol.
So good luck with the remaining weeks left and let’s all get some great contacts for the Challenge And Al I hear you most days calling CQ when our beams are pointed at each other across no mans land (t5) I’ll wish you a good morning if Igori let’s me get a word in. Good DX everyone and please don’t ban me I have Al’s factor 50 sunscreen.. 🥵

Here Ray, I've only just garnered points on the 10m challenge after three years of entering! (Useless two-hat I am.)
I have a new 'secret' weapon here so count me in for the 11m challenge.

. Hi Victor
Congratulations on your points on the 10m challenge, It's no as easy as some would think. (Useless, I don't think so, not with the wealth of knowledge you impart. As for 2 hats, only you know what's on the hat stand )
Mmmmm a "secret" weapon, that has me think of all sorts of possibilities. . . . . .

You been having troubles pasting tables onto the forum again Al mate?
(If you want a hand, give me a shout and I'll do my best but don't go handing it over to me as I have enough difficulty keeping up with call signs! )

Lol, don't know what I did, or didn't do, new computer and not much time lately, fitting a new bathroom again and everything that could go wrong has done. Visitors next month so mrs panicking, it'll be fine Thanks for the offer Victor but will try again tomorrow maybe, no rush just yet
