Comments:
Tough going for a smaller station: All S&P, S&P, S&P !!
No where to go but up! (If I could have gotten a run going
into Europe, I felt I could have broken into 1-MEG land.)
Felt good about 40 meters with 57 countries on that band.
The 2-ele. wire phased array on 40 works pretty well, I think.
Worked using the array (fixed at 50-degrees to Europe):
VK3AJJ at 12:20z KH7FKG at 12:42z ZS4TI at 04:23z
and into Europe and the Caribbean at night, of course.
Need to improve the 80-meter antenna, and get a bigger,
taller tri-bander... Better propagation (and better scores) to come!

Thank goodness for LUs (and PUs) on 15 meters!
Found quite a few African stations on 15 too.
