Comments:
This contest needed more than a simple fixed wire sloping dipole! Got going
around 1400 on Saturday and after a slow start was delighted after 45 minutes
to get a 30 minute slot to W/VE. Great things ahead I thought but it wasn't to
be. Thereafter it was a case of picking up what could be heard (which wasn't a
lot) and heard nothing new after 1745. Up early on Sunday to get the eastern DX
and was rewarded with a short run into UA9. Thereafter it was back to the noise
and the aircraft reflections, with very short openings in various directions.
VE, HK and others all appeared briefly but disappeared within seconds and there
were many that got away. Best of the day was HI and VP5 with the last QSO at a
disappointingly early 1416. Thanks to a few of the locals for topping up the
QSO count. IC756ProIII, 100w, wire sloping dipole with centre at 8m.
