Comments:
I showed up......made some noise.....had some fun.
Only put in a titch over 5 hours.
At opening bell VK/ZL action was pretty good on 40 and even 80
10 was dead the times I checked. Heard VE9CB (who I couldn't work) and a CX7
station (who I also couldn't work)
15 was almost like 10.
20 I found was weak (but keep in mind, I was only on 5 hours)
40 was pretty good in G. Hammered it at 2pm local.
80 was also pretty good. Got on before SS and started working G's and a couple
9H's.
In my own experience there was very few on from anywhere except G,VE,VK,ZL,9H
and a lone ZF2....where were all the Caribean and expeditions....wait, can't
forget Dave @ 3B8 - did work him on one band.
Til next time....
