| Working DXCC |
| We all enjoy Ham radio for many reasons, after all there is so much to try out with our great hobby. One of my interests is working DX and I have always enjoyed the hunt for new places that I have never made contact with. When I say made contact I am referring to operating with a microphone, radio and antenna. I not particularly interested in digital modes which made me decide to class my successful DXCC entries as voice QSO only. I started off shouting on a President Grant back in the 80s and now manage to shout a little less on my Ham radio equipment. So why change 🤣, anyhow my DXCC total using my Yorkshire sounding phonetics has got me 150 confirmed DXCC since I started the log back in 2004. I'm almost half way there 🤣 and only 22 years so far, hopefully I'll be there sometime, but hey I like to talk. To celebrate the halfway mark I treated the shack to an official QRZ DX World Award. I don't usually bother but thought I might as well have a little reminder to help to motivate me catch some more new DXCC 73 de M0YKS Simon |

Well done Simon. I work DX with everything I can including digital modes. But I prefer SSB and 10m. I'm still an old 11m DXer I guess. President Jackson was my rig. Worked more as 250 DXCC on 11m. Took me a while... Now on the amateurbands I'm at 259 DXCC according to clublog. Most made with SSB but the last few years you see a shift to digital. 73, Bas

Nice x
Score on both ham and 11m bands. I must be less active or less lucky than you lol. I had lots of 11m ssb radios back in the day, here is a few I can remember owning. Ham int multitude, ham int concorde, hygain 5, colt black shadow, president grant, Jackson and George. Super star 360 and cobra 148 and a stalker 9. Probably a few more I forgot. I used to enjoy 11m and just lately 10m is reminding me of the old days. 73
