Wrong, Mike. With upgraded antennas and a good team, M6T made our
worst-ever multi-multi score of just over 8M, having set the Eu record
at 29.3M in 1999 which stood for 12 years.
Conditions were truly dire here. While we are geographically closer to
the US than many other parts of Europe, when conditions are disturbed we
are way too far north. I could hear Italians, Croatians etc. working US
stations that we couldn't even smell.
Wally LZ2CJ introduced an interesting metric, lamenting that LZ9W only
worked 13 percent North America. The figure for M6T this year is 7 percent.
We had a great team and had a lot of fun, but no it was not a 'pretty
good contest' over here.

Agreed. There were plenty of zero pointers to work, who sat and called
cq endlessly. Why does the USA always get "punished"? There are lots
more hams in EU now then ever. The scores show that it was a pretty
good contest over there.
