DXCC 100 countries on 20m FT8 Award

Award for working 100 countries on 20m FT8, from the FT8 Digital Mode Club. Note I worked 100 countries on digital modes not that long ago, this included some countries on JT65 so needed a few more to get 100 on FT8. This means I have DXCC on FT8 on 30m, 20m, 17m and 10m. Not much hope of doing it on the other bands, my antennas are not good enough, just dipoles.
