Comments:
Horrible band conditions. Heard only one station on 15, none on 10, none on 80.
20 was unusually short - worked CA, WA, OR etc and could barely hear anything
from east coast. /ROKs were being drowned out by EU signals here, which were
unusually strong, and the mixing of contesters and big-gun DXers was nasty.
40 OK but not many stations around, and the contest ended before it got even
close to sunset here. An hour after the contest ended, 10 opened to ID, UT,
TX, etc., as well as VK. I think the timing of the contest should be adjusted
to span both daylight and darkness so more bands are usable.
The log submittal process is bizarre. Anybody who gets a log submitted should
get an award...
Fun though, do it again!
73,
