[IRCA] 2013 - The Year In Review

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

All in all, a productive year for me, DX-wise.  Started 2013 with 771 MW loggings at this QTH (began the logbook here on Sept. 13, 2010) and finished the year with 890.  Began the year with 67 graveyarders logged, ended with 92.  Best month was January, with 26 new stations heard.  Least productive months, not suprisingly, were in the spring and summer -- 1 new logging in April, none in May, 1 in June, and 4 in July.  Most distant catch of the year was XEMCA-1090 Panuco, Mexico at a distance of 1325 miles, heard in late January while KAAY was still on its extended hiatus. 
 
Huge Catch of the Year has to be the Dec. 14th DX test from WKAL-1450 in Rome, New York.  Easily my best graveyard logging EVER!  Also heard the DX tests from KSEY-1230 Seymour, Texas, and WCIT-940 Lima, Ohio, both of which verified for me. 
 
No new states heard in 2013, so the total here remains at 40.  Total number of Canadian provinces remains at 6. 
 
73 and Best of DX to you all in 2014,
