Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad. Who remembers that song by Meatloaf?
Well, IF (a BIG IF) these two planned “expeditions” to KP5/NP3VI Desecheo and 3G0XQ San Ambrosio get on the air in HUMAN MODES in a couple weeks I have a chance at increasing my DXCC totals by TWO from 337 to 339 in January, 2026.
That will leave me with needing only KH7 Kure to have worked them all and put my stamp on #1 Honor Roll. “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” me thinks.
Of course if they only get on FT8 I’ll still need 3 because there is ZERO chance I’ll use that lazy, mindless, computer scripted text messaging software. And remember all you Trolls that bootleg my call on FT8, that means for every so-called Q you work with my pirated callsign, that’s one less worthless Q some undeserving FT8er doesn’t get! You’re shooting yourselves in the foot – and that’s fine with me!
If either of these two “expeditions” run better than 50% SSB and CW (combined) I’ll call them a DXpedition. Less than 50%? Just another lazy, mindless, automated computer scripted TXTpedition.
Don’t even get me going with the thought that there won’t be a single operator physically on premise at one (or both) of these stations.
We shall soon see if there’s going to be some good old-fashioned DX pile-ups, or a slew of bad new-fashioned lazy, mindless, automated computer scripted software text messaging tones.
