Comments:
Quite nice E-skip openings all over Europe on Saturday almost all day long with
very good activity. Had a ball running virtually hundreds of Europeans with my
small station (IC-7000, 100 W + 3 ele Mononband Yagi).
Also had a small but very nice Caribean opening on Saturday evening providing
quite a few extra mults not even dreamed of before the contest. ;-)) Also quite
good South America signals on the first afternoon.
Sunday saw just a few spotty ES openings, but it was rather difficult to run
then. The rest of Europe seemed to be more favoured with propagation the second
day than north-eastern Germany.
Besides listening to VO1MP at S2 signal levels (plus a stupid 59+ EC2 station
on the same frequency who had no sense concerning what was going on) the
double/triple hop E-skip opening on Sunday afternoon was not usable from my
location (simply no right 1st hop into the other two ES clouds). :-((
Anyway, to put it in a nutshell: had a fu..ing lot of fun! :-))
Who said 10 m was dead in sunspot minimum? Just rely on some ES and there we go
... ;-))
73, Olli
