Conditions to EU just mediocre. Missed AK and NT. 245 5-pointers worked,
including 2 JA and ZL. No VK heard. Last QSO was at 0839z Sunday morning
(3:39AM local)... decided to get some sleep and have a productive day. What
handful of DX to be worked (VK? mult) plus stateside would have maybe increased
the score 10-15K...
Decent rates for the first 5 hrs, next hour came in under 100 but back up to 101
(0400z) for the last 100+ hr:

The amount of dupes is always amazing... 5.5%!! zero vs. Oh!
First real stress test on the newly replaced/upgraded RX antenna switching
system. Worked great! It uses a pair of Raspeberry Pis w/ touchscreens to
provide a user interface for switching "compass" directions, has a
zoomable map background with day/night overlay that updates in realtime,
scanning functions, tracking (chooses antennas in same direction for diversity),
etc. The main logic software runs as a server on the main PC, and run client
apps on Pis or PC for the user interface. I also had client apps up on the main
PC mirroring the stuff on the Pis in the event using the mouse was more
convenient at the moment. All new hardware switchboard designs as well with
better enclosures and transcient protection that hopefully will last for the
next decade!
Fun as always! CU in the Stew.
