The Run 2013

Notes By Norm - AI2C
Last Updated: November 28, 2013

The 2013 edition of the LARG DX Marathon began at 0000 UTC on January 1, 2013.

The goal is to work as many countries and CQ zones as possible.

THIS RUN IS OVER: 281 Entities & 40 Zones
Submitted on January 9 2014 to CQ

So What Am I Missing: As important it is to track all your new countries and zones - I'm currently at 260 DXCC enties; it is even more important to know what you are missing. So, you can set up to look for the rarer stuff. I use the weekly Ohio-Pennsylvania DX Bulletin listing of countries posted as active. This count is usually around 220 countries each week. Below are my notes in "Missed DX."

So, if you guys and gals hear any of these rarer one, please call me at 540-338-2584 or catch me on the lower end of 20M-CW. Thanks.

I'm sure there were others that I missed but I didn't even hear or read about their activity.

This list hangs in the shack and when I'm chasing DX I refer to the stuff still needed. I hope they are still out there and I can figure out when to work them.

So lots of DX and Gud Luck, Best Regards, Norm - AI2C.
