Re: [IRCA] 2008/2009 season summary
I use the same season as Martin, and just finished updating my stats.
Turns out last year was one of my best ever, with 97 new stations added
to the log. I can thank the addition of the Perseus receiver for a lot
of those I'm sure. I concur with Martin in that QSLs are getting
harder to obtain. For the first time in a number of years I had a drop
in my ratio of total stations QSLed to total stations heard..

I count the MW season from September through August and I thought I would share a summary of the last season. It was not a very good one, only 10 new stations heard plus 2 new HAR/TIS stations. QSLs were equally as low with only 7 stations plus 1 HAR/TIS. Only 3 QSLs received this calendar year! I'm not sure if it's the economy or lack of interest at the stations. It's becoming more difficult to hear new stations and my totals are only 367 heard. I hope to spend more time this year on MW.
On a good note I have had a good year with Utility stations including a QSL from NME Charleston SC on 518 kHz running NAVTEX.
