I'm not sure I picked the optimum hours top operate. I think the last two hours
may have been better spent during the day when I had some rate going. The
number of new stations to work were few during those two hours, but I did manage
to move a number of people between 40m and 80m to fill in some Bonus's, and a
few new Bonus's on 20m and 15m.
In the 5 years I've been entering the BERU (plus one or two as VO2AC about 15
years ago), I've never worked so many VK's and ZL's! And the majority of them
moved to different bands when I asked - thanks! I asked a lot of stations to
QSY this year. Basically, if it was new, or I didn't have the 3 Bonus's, I
asked them to QSY.
I'm continually surprised at the stations that either call me or are easier to
work during the BERU. This year's examples: 5Z4, 7Q7, VU2, 3B8.

I think I need to run more than 100W (especially on the low bands) if I want to
make a run for the top. Still, my best score yet.
Thanks for all the QSOs!
