Missed first three hours of contest , however when I
switched on
conditions were so bad I thought maybe they had canceled the test
!
Spent too much time S & P , 15 was very disappointing from here
guess on the higher frequencies in these Northern Latitudes the
absorption
levels were very high.
10 Meters only North / South actually heard only one
European an S5 I didn't work.
Low power means you stand in line a lot in pileups , however the
1.5 hour
time diff from NE USA allows a bit of time to capture the band
edge for a while
to run Europe before the bands open to the Big Guns further
South.
Low bands seemed to be very good from here, hope to be there in
SSB test
this time with power , I have had my yearly doses of masochism
and humility.
