Comments:

Conditions seemed very flat at 56 north.   Saturday was better than Sunday
which
was a drag at times.   Whilst S & P i kept getting the "already worked"
signal.   RCKrtty worked flawlessly as usual, but I had either a dicky
sound card or interface which meant that the input audio level to the rig kept
fluctuating and tripping the amplifier.   I changed both linear and sound
card during the Contest to no avail.   There were some snippets of DX on 40m,
but local European signals made a lot of them onworkable Long Path in the late
afternoons.   As usual due toi the levels of activity on 40m, both SSB and CW
operators were complaining that we were taking up more than our share of the
band.
Overall I enjoyed the Contest, but feel I could have done better.   I had
no antenna for 10m and don't know if the band was open or not, but I did
loose the chance of the odd mult.   Next year - I will be back!
