Sometime over the last week I exceeded 2,000 contacts logged this year. Spit in the ocean for much more active operators, but another milestone for me as I have added more than 2K to the log in each of the last three years which coincides with my retirement in 2022. Quantity has never been a goal, however, the results reflect the uptick in time spent in the ham shack. With a full-month remaining, I expect 2024 to be the most prolific year of radio during my entire lifetime.
