Comments:
Phew - the bands were great to very good when they were up, but worse Sunday
morning than Saturday, and then signal strengths dropped and conditions were so
bad here I gave up and took a prolonged break. All in all, though, it was Big
Fun. I heard some rare ones I just couldn't get to through the pileups - San
Marino, China, and Qatar - but snagged a lot of others.
Thanks to all who listened hard for my weak signal. The going was often tough
but sometimes propagation was amazing and I was getting through on first calls.
THAT is a lot of fun.
I can't wait for the CW version in May, though, and hope to put you all in the
log then.
