Not a lot to cheer about in this one but had some fun as always. Figured a
Friday running would be better than a mid-week event, but it didn't seem to
help participation much. The CW end of the bands had plenty of room for more!
Ended up putting in just 10 hours or so. More to work would have kept me in the
chair longer.
Watched the Aurora level move from 6 to 10 and back to 6, and the bands played
exactly as expected with those conditions. Lousy. Worked precisely one European
station, a loud DL in the final hour, but there were no others when I called
over the pole.
Huge thanks to everyone who got on, even for a few contacts.
Favo(u)rite moments: being called by VE8s from NT on 40M and 20M, and saying
hello to so many friends, even with just a dit-dit.
Glad Ralph VE7XF moved me to 160M for a BC mult, as I added AB not long
afterward -- making for two more on 160 than I had last year. Not nearly enough
mults found on 80M or 15M.
Once again, too few RAC stations ventured into CW mode -- kudos to the three I
worked: VE5RAC, VA3RAC and VE8RAC. Hope there were more on than that.

See everyone in IARU next weekend (and in a few hours for DLDX RTTY... great
way to spend some long-weekend time if your weather's not so good).
