Fun with N3FJP software – An Update!
A few months ago, I shared some data that I had extracted from my N3FJP Amateur Call Log.
At that time about 41% of my lifetime QSOs were on 80 meters.
In an effort to use more of the amateur radio spectrum, and to explore some of the other amateur bands, I tried a new approach — “Anything but 80”.
How did that go?

- Total QSOs went up about 400 since last October (2020).
- 80 meters has slid to 39% of the total.
- Thanks to robust activity on the Sunday Night 2 Meter net (146.490 MHz FM simplex), 2 meters went up to 39%.
- 40 meters actually lost 2%. If this was the Electoral College, 40M gained contacts, but not as fast as 2M, so 2M gets more votes.
- I think my next goal is to get over 100 QSOs on 30 meters and over 200 QSOs on 20 meters.
- 17 meters has been “okay” lately, and for some reason I prefer 17 and 30 meters to 20 meters. Not sure why, but I do.
- 10, 12 and 15 meters will probably have to wait for improved propagation over the next couple of years.
