Hi Folks,
Thanks to the guys at Boring ARC for providing us with yet another Stew
event, I hope this one becomes a permanent fixture.
Conditions were very poor from this isolated part of the planet and late
summer QRN made it tough going.
No EU contacts, I only heard a few weak Russian stations operating in a
contest prior to SR and could not raise a response by CQ'n.
No Asian contacts, I heard a few JA's but concentrated on stateside and
by the time it was SR on the west coast the JA's had gone.
I only heard midwest USA, nothing from east or west coasts and even the
big guns were S2 at best.
Consequently I only managed 8 stateside contacts and one east coast VK.
Despite that, the beauty of the Stew scoring system is being able to
wrack up a reasonable score with so few QSO's, as Perth is a long way
from everywhere.
I look forward to giving many of you umpteen thousand point QSO's in the
June Stew.
73, Phil VK6GX.
