New log update on clublog!  My CW 80, 40,  30,  20,  15,  12 contacts are good, as is 10 SSB.  Did not bother trying FT8.  Just need 17 now.  Sure wish the 3Y0 guys had better conditions.
So much more rewarding when you do the actual work and not the computer program.👍

There is never any FT8 hate on these treads.

Congratulations, you have really good tires.

It's been many years since I haven't made at least one Q with a DXpedition I was chasing.  3B7M may break that streak.  They finally were theoretically workable here on the west coast on 17 CW this morning, but working probably 80% EU with a bit of everyone else mixed in.  Sounds like the guys down in California have OK propagation but it's still tough up here in Washington.

Looks like everything is good in the latest log update except for my 15m FT8 QSO. Still looking for a 10, 15, and 80m QSO to round out all the bands, and I suppose I ought to make at least one SSB QSO before they go QRT.  ;D CW and FT8 on 12, 17, 20, 30, and 40m are all taken care of. Definitely a great team!

Thanks! Just worked them a few minutes ago on both 10m and 15m. Took three calls on 10m, and one call on 15m. They are quite loud on 15m in particular. Now to take care of 80m....

15 and 10 are the last 2 bands I need... they went off the air on 15 just as I started calling. Nice and loud too. 10 I don't see them at all (they were loud earlier on 10 ssb but my small signal couldn't make it through.. )

Edit - Band changed a bit. Got em' on 10 and I see they're back on 15...

Think we could persuade them to go to Bouvet?

Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until I reach Top of the Honor Roll

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

Did get 3B7M on 10 and 15 this afternoon on FT8 running remotely, so I get a double helping of hate.  It was remoting to my own station, tough.  New band (10m) and mode country for me!

I needed them on 10, 12, and 160. Got the first two, and hoping for some Topband luck this week. I saw them spotted by no joy even on

Got them yesterday on 10M SSB with 600W to an EDZ at 30 ft!  8th QSO.  7 bands and 3 modes!  Nothing heard on 160.

John, the harder you work on improving your station to make it more technically sophisticated, the higher likelihood some people may call you "lazy"  ;D ;D ;D

Congrats on your new mode and new band!

Yes, I am going for the CQ Magazine iDX award next-working 25 countries via the internet.  The most difficult part of that award is getting CQ magazine to actually send it to you.
