Done!
PALMYRA & JARVIS ISLANDS comes off the needed list thanks to the N5J team. 3 Modes/ 8 Bands ...my target. 114 entities are left with something needed to work on DXCC.
10 & 12 were really hard. Managed to get 12 on FT8 SF due to some divine intervention I think. Had to revert to CW to log them on 10 meters.

20, 30 & 40 were not needed but I used them to come up to speed on the Super Fox preliminary release software.

Thank you Marek for all the band fills. This leaves me with just needing 80 meters for completing 8 Bands and taking Glorioso Island off my list (no 6 or 160 antenna). Marek had issues when doing 80 meters given his requirements to operate on the Island. Only 37 contacts were made to North America none in my State. Next time for sure!

Just made it onto ARRL's Digital Honor Roll in addition to previously hitting the "Mixed" and "Phone" Honor Rolls.

Only 340 (just luck it works out to that number) open slots on 8 Bands (80M-10M). It's getting really tough to nail down the open ones with just a wire!

First Licensed May 2003. At present, optimistically awaiting:

1. P5 DPRK (NORTH KOREA)
5. CE0X SAN FELIX ISLANDS
6. BV9P PRATAS ISLAND
8. KH3 JOHNSTON ISLAND
11. FT5/X KERGUELEN ISLAND
23. EZ TURKMENISTAN

Missing Phone: 3Y Bouvet Island, YK Syria

Missing Digital: 3Y Bouvet, BS7H Scarborough Reef, ZS8 Prince Edward & Marion Island

Great single Ham effort by Thierry on Crozet Island. Tried his best to give everyone a chance even with a high level of restrictions and limited equipment. Did see him on the higher bands 10/12 but openings were sporadic and I was unable to complete a contact. 20/30 meters presented no problem for me!

I suggest this landing solution for the next attempt on Bouvet Island (more up to the task!)😉

You know things were really bad when I have to revert to CW to get a new one into my log ( #334).
Got cheated out of a 30M FT8 contact by a skilled Pirate which would have given me a new Digital contact.
Hopefully I will live to see another attempt at this rare one. I can honestly say I am embarrassed that some licensed Hams went to so much trouble to ruin this rare opportunity.
