Comments:
Bands were tough here -- didn't get much action when running, and ended up with
a third-rate outing. I took breaks when I shouldn't have, but rate was so slow
at times I got sleepy and opted for naps instead of pushing through.
Stayed in at the end just to get the QSO count past my previous second-best
attempt in 2012. Got one more (well, counting dupes), then pulled the plug with
15 minutes remaining and nothing left in the tank.
Some decent EU openings on 20 and 15, but they weren't the best. 20M was quite
noisy over the pole on Sunday and low-power stations were hard to pull through.
15M was only about two-thirds as good as last year rate-wise and otherwise-wise
, and EU wasn't nearly as good as 20M.
10M was dead the whole time -- ZF1A the only station worked there.
Really missed the JAs -- worked only 10 Qs all weekend.
