A real variety of individual favourite DX each day this week. S01WS (West Sahara with zero not O), W6F and W6G (US route 66 special), V31XT (Belize), ZL7IO (Chatham Is New Zealand) and 3D2RAT (Rotuma Is).
Also worth a mention is LU9DCE who was top spotter all week, does he ever get any sleep?
If you worked W6G, W6T and W6S then you could get 3 QSL cards which arrange nicely side by side to show Route 66, where of course you get your Kicks, (for those of you old enough to remember the song by the Rolling Stones et al)
