Worked DXCCs:

Equipment

For my DX trips I built a small (10 Kg) "Flyaway" case that includes an Icom IC7100, power supplies, antenna tuner and antennas from Buddipole, EndFedz, cables, and home brew rotatable dipoles and a yagi for 2M, verticals and wires. I operate CW, FT8, FT4, RTTY, PSK, ALE, and some others. This system has been used in CN, HL, VP9, C6A, and several U.S. States.

DX Code Of Conduct

I support the "DX Code Of Conduct" to help to work with each other and not each against the others on the bands.
