Keeping this out of the archives. About 6 weeks to go and I've been playing Call of Duty Advanced Warfare instead of being on the air for the past week.
 Deleted that one pesky QSO from 2005 that was in my log too.

I don't think I have 112 entities in all bands/modes. |

Thanks, Brundoggie. I've kind of evolved my station and operating style to work DX like this and rarely do anything else on the air. Lots of times I'll just watch the DX cluster and work stations as I see other US hams spot them. A lot of them come from DX contests and DXpeditions. Sometimes I'll tune the bands looking for them myself but I almost never call CQ.
If you have an electronic log and want to see what you've worked all broken down with these reports and more, just create a free account on ClubLog if you haven't already. Then just upload your log and view the reports. https://secure.clublog.org/index.php |

http://i.imgur.com/EK1Flfn.jpg Great numbers!   I think I'm still stuck somewhere around 150, but I haven't looked in awhile...I'll upload a new log and see where I stand.
ETA: Doing a bit better than I had thought. Number of DXCCs 166 Number of QSOs 2377 CW: 16.79% Phone: 56.46% Data: 26.76% Considering I've only been on the air since February, I'm tickled pink by how many entities I have managed to get. |

ETA: there is something wrong with that number! LoTW says 1273 which I think is closer to being correct. |

We're counting number worked, you don't need to have them confirmed.

I'm at 126 confirmed DX so far. They are all phone & digital QSO's. If I can ever learn CW, I'll be crapping in tall cotton.
Total # of QSO's logged for this month, is the lowest since I've been on the air.

I'm up to 60 DXCC now
I added Jersey a couple of weeks ago.
I haven't had much time to play lately, but am looking forward to the 10m RTTY contest this upcoming Sunday, and the ARRL 10m contest the following weekend. Even those of use without the space for a large antenna can have fun during 10m contests. Hopefully my new tuner will arrive next weekend and I can get the Jupiter on the air for the ARRL contest. I should be able to add several DX countries during the two contests. |

63 now. The 10m RTTY contest was good to me. 3 new ones: Andorra, Barbados, and Morocco. And a couple on 10m for the first time: Columbia and New Zealand.

169 I don't think I'll be able to break 170 before the new year without some serious time and effort put in.
In any event I'm extremely happy with the number!

I just turned off the radio for the day and went through the log. How did I end at 999 QSO's for the year?
Well, since 2014 UTC just ended a bit ago, here's my results. 
And here's my current LOTW totals. I've been stuck on 239 and 899 for a while now. 
ETA: And an additional 12 entities confirmed with a card but not on LOTW. |

All with wire antennas and the I-Max 2000 vertical that I added a few months ago. I have 132 confirmed in LoTW, & several cards I could toss in the mix. I surpassed my goals for the year, now to learn CW.
Enjoying every minute I get to spend with this hobby. Appreciate all the ARFHAM friends that have helped me along the way. Here's to good DX in 2015!

I set the car clock to GMT, though I wish it would do 24hr format. It doesn't eat a lot of memory. I just reiterate the other callsign, the band, the time, RST and hit stop. If I am calling CQ I hit start again and repeat. |

That will work great!.
