Hmm. If you can count what isn't there, then perhaps the tree falling in the forest does make a sound after all....

QSL card, schedule and tract received today from TWR Benin 1566, for an AUG
31 2013 reception. Signed by Lorraine S., from the Swaziland address.
The card says I heard this on 156 khz, but I think everyone knows the
actual channel! That's my 60th verified country of 78 heard. So if we
counted in Base 6 that would mean I've reached the century mark And for
binary-only DXers, that would be country #111,100.- yes you got it right -
only 4 more to reach a million! Just came in from raking leaves which
might explain my interest in high numbers today. Since we're on a roll
with this - most contemporary cultures use base 10, but there's one that
uses base 8 - derived not from fingers, but from the spaces between
fingers. An mystical concept - a counting system derived from what is not
there. Hmmmm.
