I completed almost all my 2015 goals.
- Complete DXCC Challenge with 1000+ points YES (1136)
- Complete 30m and 12m DXCC (7BDXCC) (80m seems unlikely) Yes – Bonus did 80 too
- Complete 12m WAS (7BWAS) (a stretch to get DE and WV) No – But got 30 instead
- Work 250 logged DX countries – Yes
- Have 225 countries confirmed in LotW – Yes (241)
- Complete firmware for satellite tracker – No
- Hold two ham radio classes – Yes
- Participate in four VE sessions – Yes
Another significant 2015 event was getting an article published in QST, an uncompleted goal from 2014
2016 Goals:
- 255 Confirmed Countries
- 1,200 DX Band-Points
- WAS Completed on 12 Meters
- Successful ARISS Contact at All Saints Academy
- Teach a Technician Class for Monsignor Clarke Middle School
- Teach a Technician Class Elsewhere
- Complete my K1
My DX goals are less aggressive given the decline in the sunspot cycle, and frankly most of the easy ones have been worked, leaving me at the mercy of rare-one DXpeditions. Honestly I think that the 12 Meter WASÂ is a stretch given that almost no one is on that band anymore (even when there is 10 Meter activity).
