Almost made it

The giant 80 meter 1/4 wave vertical that was installed Oct. 20th, 2019 is now cranked down and the 20 of the 40 radials will be rolled up soon before grass mowing season. It is 64 foot tall and would be a perfect lightning target. I wanted to contact 100 countries with it but I got stalled at 95, So close ! It will go back up next fall when the thunder storms are over. Believe me it was a very fun chase.

Here are just a few of the countries I contacted:
