Greetings Topbanders,
I'm sorry to say the Stew was just about a non-event in this part of the
world. The only stateside station I heard/worked was Tree, K7RAT, within
the 1st hour, when he peaked up at his SR. The following evening (VK6
time), I was set and ready to go, about 1/2 hour before my SS at 1123z,
hoping to snare a good few east coast W's, but it was a complete
wipe-out. The only station I heard was Ron, VK3IO, who was much weaker
than normal, when he worked Steve VK6VZ, with difficulty. I think the VK
contingent threw in the towel not long after that. I didn't hear or see
any trace of anyone from anywhere after that.
It looks like things were much better in the northern hemisphere and I
hope you all enjoyed the event, with hopefully some new ones.
Oh well, here's hoping for better next time, surely it couldn't be any
worse for us down-under.
Happy New Year All, 73, Phil VK6GX.
