Comments:
Timing is everything. Had this contest been held two weeks ago, I think the
result would have been quite different.
Conditions in general were really good:
10m - No EU runs like last year. The few EU's worked were weak with the
strongest signal beaming 90 degrees. My mult count took a hit, but other than
that, the band was in good shape.
15m - The best EU runs only lasted two to three hours before things start to
shift and the eastern countries dropped out. Overall, no complaints - I've seen
the band much worse!
20m - The best of the high bands. The longest EU runs and the best DX. Sunday
morning featured some flutter which is always more challenging on a crowded
band. Only if there were some way to get more of our friends from Japan on this
band, 20m would have it all!
40m - No EU runs this year. Never heard or worked a UK station either. Many
thanks to all of the JA operators for a great turn out! Because of you, this
was my highest single op 40m total ever.
80m - Typical conditions. Maybe less activity in general.
160m - HK1NA wins the 160m big signal award. Loudest DX of anyone heard for the
last few years. Other than that, the band was (yawn) boring.
Thanks to all for the Qs and the QSYs!
