World-wide Radio Contest...

This weekend I participated in the annual CQWW DX Contest. This is a 48 hour contest where hams from all over the world contact each other.

The chart at right shows the breakdown of my contacts by continent.

Africa is always the hardest continent to reach, but I still managed to have 7% of my contacts from that area, including The Gambia, Cape Verde, plus the Canary and Madeira Islands.

Altogether I had 135 contacts from around the world in 50 different countries. That is a very modest score, but then again, my station is also very modest!
