Islands to the fore in November DX challenge
Cayman, Puerto Rico, Madeira, Cyprus, and Malta were among the many islands contacted by Wythall Radio Club members in our November DX Challenge.
KP2M in the US Virgin Islands was a big signal into Wythall on 40 meters. This station is the home of the Radio Reef DXers group.
We also contacted several stations on the Aland Islands located between Sweden and Norway including OHoR and OHoZ.
And back
in the Caribbean, contact was made with radio amateur Daniel, ZF2MJ, on Cayman Island.
Congratulations to Chris G0EYO and Neil G1TZC for topping the total DXCC and unique DXCC tables. Neil also just pipped Chris in the 40 meter tables.
On 80 and 160 meters, there was a close contest between the Chris’s G0EYO and G3YHF, with each taking honours on one band.

We are continuing the 160 meter tables through December, January and February to see what DX members can work during the 4 winter months.
For December and January, there will be two tables – one for the low bands (80,40 and 30 meters) and one for the high bands (20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 meters). Each country will count once in each table regardless of the band or mode used.
