Comments CONDX WERE NOT GOOD FROM THE MIDDLE-EAST THIS WEEKEND;
I GUESS WE WERE SLIGHTLY SPOILED LAST WEEKEND IN WW RTTY!
VERY FRUSTRATING TO HEAR THE AFRICANS - 9J, 5Z
RUNNING U.K. STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CONTEST,
IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO FIND ENOUGH STATIONS TO WORK.
CONDX ELSEWHERE SEEMED GOOD, COULD HEAR VK VERY
STRONG, AND SEVERAL W6 CALLED, BUT FOR THIS ONE
WE JUST DIDN'T GET THE OPENING WE WANTED TO THE U.K.
AFTER 8 HOURS IT WAS TOO MUCH LIKE HARD WORK, SO STEVE
(ZC4BS) AND MYSELF WENT FOR A WELL EARNED BEER AND
COMPARED NOTES OF A DIFFICULT DAY.
SOME MULTIPLIERS WERE CONSPICUOUS IN THEIR ABSCENCE -
WHERE WAS BM, BIRMINGHAM - NEVER HEARD SEVERAL OTHER
EASY MULTS. WAS PARTICIPATION DOWN? IF THAT'S THE CASE
THEN THIS IS WORRYING AT THE PEAK OF THE SUNSPOT CYCLE.
