     Missed first three hours of contest , however when I
switched on 
conditions were so bad I thought maybe they had canceled the test
!
Spent too much time S & P ,  15 was very disappointing from here
guess on the higher frequencies in these Northern Latitudes the
absorption
 levels were very high.
10 Meters only North / South  actually  heard only  one
  European an S5 I didn't work.
Low power  means you stand in line a lot in pileups , however the
1.5 hour
 time diff from NE USA  allows a bit of time to capture the band
edge for a while 
to run Europe before the bands open to the Big Guns further
South.
Low bands seemed to be very good from here,  hope to be there in
SSB test
this time with power , I have had my yearly doses of masochism
and humility.
