I set goals to work 200 countries before the end of 2012, to have 150 confirmed in LotW, and 150 in the Diamond DXCC Challenge. As of this afternoon, after working A92IO, Dave in Bahrain, my country count is up to 190. LotW is lagging quite a bit with 137 confirmed (plus a physical QSL), and I’m at 133 in the Diamond DXCC Challenge. So there is still lots of work to go (and QSLs to mail out). But things seem hopeful.
Update: A few hours later, Dave, A92IO confirmed, along with Oleg, RI1ANF in South Shetland Island, bumping LotW up to 139.
