I wasn't really planning to try for this award, or I could have gotten it much quicker. I think the $10 fee charged by the ARRL for the award was much more than it should have been. So I was going to pass it by. Then when my total casually reached 92-93 countries, I figured it was after all, a once in a lifetime award and searched out the remaining few countries. Country # 100 in 2000 came on March 18th, and I received the award on April 6th.
Thanks to each of the 100 stations below for helping me to earn this award, and of course thanks to all other stations I worked during that landmark year as well .
