After refusing to use the confirmations for my previous callsign YO8RTR which I held for more than 13 years, I had to start over with populating the DXCC slots. This is a new challenge and a motivation to keep improving my skills and shack.

   Having not enough patience, now I officialized the results so far: 8 Bands DXCC with only 247 entities confirmed and 1269 slots for the Challenge competition. But the DXpedition season is at its peak and I have already worked 14 new entities, waiting for confirmations.

   But the next goal is DXCC on 160m and, for this, I need to put up an antenna. Also 6m band is tempting me but, with only 48 entities confirmed so far, it won’t be so easy or quick.

   Thank you to all of you answering my calls!
