I’ve been doing the ’12 days of QRZ’ again this year and managed to get the award yesterday – I started two day late as I forgot about the award. So far I had endorsements for 80m, 40m, 30m and 20m, and today I added 17m and 10m.

A couple of log entries were the same stations over two or three days, I’m not actually stalking you!

It’s fun and frustrating at the same time, logging, sending to QRZ and LoTW and hoping for a match. A few 60m QSOs from yesterday were from stations that had previously logged to LoTW and now are not… but never mind. Just one more day for 60m and 15m to get 12 days in each and the associated endorsements. The award updates automatically once you get sufficient days and go to the awards page again,

Now then, 12m. I did not realise last year, nor this year that it is included, as are all bands. You need to go to the bottom of the awards check page and click on ‘all bands’. So this year I added 3 days (so far) of 12m, 9 to go. I’ve never heard anything on 160m, the wire is so short for that band it is no surprise. I always miss the openings on 6m, and 2m yields very little, so I will probably leave those alone.

Update 24/12/23 – just competed the necessary QSOs for 12m, so I have 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10m. That’s it for this year!
