Hi,
can't remember any contest in the last six months with so lousy
propagation. 20m almost "dead" for DX contacts, 15m acceptable
on Sunday afternoon (UTC) and 10m was open a little bit to the
fare east on Sunday morning (UTC) for a couple of hours.
Two minutes before the contest started, my RTTY-PC crashed (RAM fault)!
So I have reactivated an old Pentium PC, one of the very first
generation, installed MS-Windoof-95 ~:)  and all other necessary
software. Lost 2 hours by that and needed a short rest in the
night. On the end I was active about 19 hours only.
See you all in the SP DX, Apr 27-28, 2002
