I had a great couple of hours up at the dx location today. Despite the rain and wind I managed to lash the Antron up, next to the car. Big thanks to my good friend Adi for helping me work Colombia.
Working conditions: Yaesu ft450d, Antron 99 (5.5m off the ground), static-mobile 515m asl.

Hello all
I guess it's time to get my list of stations in for the 11m challenge
26 AMC 02--Roz 2 WR 249--Nathan 163 RU 08--Rod
I make that a total of 3 points which is more than some get on the Eurovision Song contest.
Working conditions a Anytone AT-6666, Solarcon A99 and a 12 volt battery (the joys of being a portable station)

Cheers Tom, that was a long hard slog mate. Having one eye on the cluster day and night for 4 months isn't easy lol. Being retired helped a lot though. Tremendous effort though Tom and some amazing contacts and support for other members. For these reasons I think you have earned the trophy If you let me have your full address I'll get it sent out mate. 163lr001@gmail.com

Well done all, you've shown everyone that there is some great fun and awesome DX to be had on CB.
Tom and Al... phenomenal efforts! Big beamy things aside, you've got some skills for sure to work that many and over the Winter without the help of the early summer E skip. Well done!
