Boy, is this contest ever at the wrong times for VK...=20

Why the wrong times ??  well, starting time is 3am local and ending time =
is about 3 hours before 20 metres opens down here.

Except for the first 90 minutes the whole contest is in board daylight =
so there is no chance of DX contacts on 40 or 80 metres...    =20

Conditions on the day were pretty poor and as I have often heard said =
"why couldn't it have been held yesterday ?"...  Conditions here on VK =
yesterday were fantastic   (damn you mr. sun)

So here's the real rundown...    I started the contest at 6am which was =
3 hours late and in the final 4 hours all bands were dead and I only =
worked 24 contacts...    Considering this, I am not too upset at my =
lousy score....  and I had fun, and thats the main thing.
