After almost giving up hope on completing 160m DXCC this year (my one remaining goal for 2021), I’ve gotten VERY close. With a LotW confirmation from Sander JW4PUA in Svalbard , I now have 98 confirmations in LotW for 160 meters.
I have been holding a QSL card from Warwick E51WL in the North Cook Islands on 160m, so technically I am sitting at 99 confirmed and need one more to complete DXCC.
Recently I’ve worked Barbados, and Argentina multiple times, with stations that have uploaded to LotW in November, so there is some hope that they may confirm a contact. In addition I’ve worked stations in Bermuda, Bosnia, Cape Verde, Cypress, Montenegro, and Wales, so there is always a possibility that I might be able to request a card from them, or perhaps a LotW confirmation might show up eventually.
There isn’t much time left in 2021, but there is still hope!
