I am just a "weekend warrior" with 100 watts and a vertical. 174 worked, 128 confirmed.

After 20+ years, I have managed to earn a few pieces of "wall candy" in the shack!

Worked? In the neighborhood of 215.

Confirmed? WTF is that? I know nothing of this "confirmed" you speak of.

:dunno:

Don't know, never counted them, and don't go for certificates etc, i just use ham radio as hobby, not to plaster the wall with certificates.
Think i worked most countries on most bands now though, but can't be bothered to check it.

Just Earth. Tried to work Jupiter once but they told me they'd already logged enough Six-Landers.

My best accomplishment was Australia on 10 meter. I sent the SOB a card and got zip in return. ZIP I TELL YA.........

I saved money on postage, my daughter was going there for a few weeks so she mailed it from there. No wait, thinking of it, postage would have been cheaper. Damn kids will trick you every chance they get.

The Milky Way Galaxy would tell you the same thing.

Not as of late, no. And, since I worked 30 meters most of the time, you tended to get the same folks on there. I'm not really about chasing DX, but rather experimenting with various modes and whatnot.

All you guys that worked the planets. Guess ya'll all got NVIS antennas, wait for planetary alignment then fire off a CQ.
Five watts oughta do it, no skip, straight shot. Might try it.

I just worked a two station. From some of the posts lately, that's like another planet, eh?
