2022 - My amateur radio year in review

I enjoy chasing amateur radio awards. Periodically, I like to stand back and take a look at my progress toward my award related goals. The New Year is a perfect time for reflection and evaluation. Here are a few statistics I collected related to my amateur radio operations for 2022 as of January 1, 2023.  It was a very good year for radio thanks to the return of sunspots.  Looking forward to even better conditions 2023.
