Comments:
Conditions were appalling to say the least. I didn't make a start 1047UTC on
Saturday, and wondered if I had the right weekend. Only a few signals on 20m,
nothing on 40 or 15, so I started to call CQ. After one hour, I only had a
dozen or so Q's in the log, and almost gave up. But, I had a "contest
pass" from the XYL, so I stuck with it. By around 1700, I had suffered
enough, so I went and watched the England v France 6Nations Rugby final.
Due to a short power putage, I had to come back to the shack to reboot the PC's
at around 2200, and to check all was OK, so I made 4 Q's then.
Then I couldn't sleep, was awake at 0230UTC, so came to the shack, hoping to
find 80/40m in full flood. Oh dear. Managed to work Dean 8P2K on 40m, but he
was the only audible signal. Went to 80m, and managed 2 more Q's, but that was
it. Back to bed.
Sunday was better, but only marginally. Had a few nice runs, but they were
slow.
I was pleased to log FP/KV1J and HP3/VY2SS though. Neither were new ones, but
they are good for the CQ Marathon totals!
I was surprised to get all 6 continents too. Thankfully Aldo YV5AAX gave me the
last continent needed on Saturday.
In previous years, I have worked all 6 within an hour or so, but it was much
harder this year.
Thanks to all for the points,
73 de Phil GU0SUP
