I know I probably won't get DXCC unless we get a HEO, but I'm actively pursuing the OSCAR Century Award. I'm at 87 worked now and still need 5 Canadian call areas (the 3 territories plus Nova Scotia and PEI). All have been worked with 5 watts from my portable dual FT-817 setup (or an Icom IC-R10 receiver I used before getting the second FT-817) and an Arrow or Elk antenna. I'd really like to get all 100 QRP but I do have a 30w 2m amp I recently acquired if I need it for a low FO-29 pass or a crowded SO-50 pass. I'll probably add a 70cm amp at some point too if I run across a good deal for low AO-7 passes.

That's odd, I worked N5AFV/FJ in Dec 2005 on AO-51 when Al stopped there on a cruise. I know he worked a bunch of people when he was there. I never researched the FJ, but I feel I missed sat DXCC when AO-40 failed. I'm up to 82 confirmed via sat but don't think I ever going to get close to 100 so I don't pay much attention. I also have it on 20m in 2008.

Good morning,
Early this morning, I worked FJ/N2IEN on Saint Barthélemy on SO-50. This is a relatively new DXCC, only existing since 2007 (it was part of FS prior).
This may be the first satellite operation from that DXCC entity. The group will be there until Tuesday.
