Comments:
I decided to give BERU a miss this year as my wife was complaining about all the
contest time. Did enter the RTTY Sprint as it is only 4 hrs. When she went to
bed on Sat night (shortly before 0600Z 2200 Local) I thought I'd give a listen
to see if I could hear any BERU activity. I was astonished to find 20 open,
particularly with good sigs from VE3 and VE6. I thought I detected a little
hesitation on the part of the ops as I gave them nr 001 and 002 respectively, 4
hrs before the end. Then some ZLs and VKs then to 40 with some Caribs, ZLs and,
to my utter astonishment, GM3POI and a much weaker G4BUO. I don't get out well
on 40 so that was pretty exciting. 40 should be a lot better when I get the C4
up.
Last Q, #22, was on 20 at an amazing 0738Z. ZF2NT. He was 30 over 9 here and
the only signal on the band.
