I have come to the conclusion that I was trying to do too much given the limitations that I have to work with in regard to my station configuration and limitations. I looked at the results that I have achieved and the potential for future advancements. I have had great luck in the DX realm, but it is getting more difficult to work the ones that I need due to the limitations on antennas that I can install.
The one area that I have excelled is in POTA - with close to 2600 confirmed parks, POTA WAS, and 20 entities confirmed - I am what you would call "competitive" in the POTA ecosystem. Given that I do most of my hunting on FT8, I am very happy with my level of results.
So, from this point on I will be focusing mainly on POTA, but will still snag the DX counters when I can. Same as with the WAS band states that I need on 80m, 12m, and 10m. Of course I will go after the 250WAS after the first of the year! I am putting 6m VUCC on hold for the immediate future as well as the FT8-DMC, etc. awards.
Contests will be used as opportunities to fill in needed slots for DXCC and WAS. I have begun to integrate all of the existing web pages into one page.
I do this so I can focus all of my effort in one direction that will provide the most return on my time and effort. With a few exceptions, I can always find POTA station to work on the bands every day. And I will be doing activations as well.
