A bit (but not much) more than half-serious effort... mainly chasing mults
rather than Qs. First highlight (chronologically) was, after chasing spots for
a while, I thought I should try CQing on 15 and maybe some AS mults would call
- literally my first CQ was answered by 9N1II! (He answered my CQ on 10m on the
second day too). The main highlight was working 6O3A on 20m for an all-time new
DXCC entity (not many left now).
Interesting opening to northern/eastern EU on 10m around 2330Z on Saturday,
which seemed to last a couple of hours! Had quite a few EU (not just OH/SM, but
YL, OZ, UA1, TF, ...) call while I was running JA (also worked OH0, JW, ...).
Wasn't quite sure where I should point the beam!
Lots of incessant zero-beat callers in the big mult pileups - don't they
realise that it slows down the process for everyone? (rhetorical question:)
Mostly a fun time ;)
