Completed 17m ARRL DXCC Award

A big THANK YOU to Joel, ZF2RJ in the Cayman Islands for being my 100th DXCC confirmed contact on 17 Meters on LoTW.  I am delighted to have earned the ARRL 17m DXCC award.  It took many years to earn this award.  Feeling happy having completed it at last.

As I write this, I have now completed DXCC on 10 Meters, 15 Meters, 17 Meters, and 20 Meters.  I am working on achieving DXCC on several bands.

• 12 Meters - Haven't had a 12m antenna for many years.  Going to be installing one soon.
• 30 Meters - Making good progress (92 qualifying contacts confirmed on LoTW)
• 40 Meters - Making good progress (87 qualifying contacts confirmed on LoTW)
• 80 Meters - Slow progress (38 qualifying contact confirmed on LoTW)
• 160 Meters - No antenna.

I am also pursuing the DXCC Challenge Award which requires confirming at least 1,000 DXCC band-points on any Amateur bands, 160 through 6 meters (except 60 meters).  I presently have 696 contacts confirmed on LoTW toward the DXCC Challenge Award.

Good DX and 73, NJ2X
