2015 Year in Review

PIt is Christmas Eve and I decided to put some time in for reflection over things that happened in 2015.  Of course there was much anticipation for the summer as we were scheduled to go to Prince Edward Island for the IARU HF Championship.

I worked 24 new DXCC entities in 2015.  It is smaller than previous years but still significant.

Since I first received my HF privileges in 2010 - 2010 was slow
2010 - 9 New DXCC
2011 - 84 New DXCC - this really was my first year trying to accumulate DXCC
2012 - 30 New DXCC - things slowed down as I tried to get my QRP-DXCC
2013 - 81 New DXCC - the year of the linear amplifier over 100 watts
2014 - 55 New DXCC
2015 - 24 New DXCC
