<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">I have previously reported on my newly-discovered digital activities.<span> </span>A couple people said that they enjoyed
reading them, so I am posting this report.<span> </span> </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">After being an analog holdout for many years, I went digital
on January 15, with many thanks to N3HU, for setting me up.<span> </span> </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">In the activity report below, all QSOs are confirmed on
LoTW. </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">I worked DXCC and WAS in my first week, but it took three
more days to get WAZ because I had to help UB0Y in Kyzyl in Zone 23 get his
LoTW certificate and upload our QSO. Bart Jahnke helped with finalizing the
certificate. </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">I have confirmed 220 digital countries, some like 3C3CA, VU7W,
and 5A1AL are ATNOs that I would not have worked otherwise.<span> </span>I also added many countries to my band-country
lists, including 9N7AA, VP6A, <span> </span>9Q1AA,
9Q1ZZ, 4W6RU, and KH8RRC.<span> </span> </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">6 Meters.<span> </span>I have 30
countries confirmed on 6, with an odd assortment.<span> </span>I have SV9, OX, FP, and EA6, but I’m missing
G, ON, and PA and a few other :easy” ones. </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">I have 8-band digital WAS, having confirmed no. 400 a few
minutes ago when I had a QSO with CT on 12 meters confirmed.<span> </span>Other states that I got near the end were VT
on 10 and WY on 12.<span> </span></p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">On WAZ, digital, I have the five bands in 10-20 confirmed. 30, 40, and 80 are more challenging. </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal">Overall, it’s been a great deal of fun. To other analog holdout, I say give it up, and
go digital. </p>
<p class="ydp28ae870aMsoNormal"> 73</p>
