Not saying there should be a drastic change but for us out here there are only
2 ham population centers to target - these are about the same distance of
~6,700 Kms.
VU-Bangalore to EU = 3 points
VU-Bangalore to JA = 1 point
Practically everything in a 5000 km radius = 1 point
Nearly everything in a 3,000 km radius = ZERO points
Like in 2012, we need some superlative conditions on 10m if we have to touch
the 4-5 million points mark in CQWW.
We have fun though and keep hoping for better conditions each year.
DX IS!
