Comments:

Started off as planned on 15m Eu LP/JA, worked 37 in first hour 
which is a very good rate for me from this remote outpost of 
humanity. Signals were fading out so dropped down to 20m, but 
condx were not much better, qso rate dropped right off and 
between 16-18z could only make 4 qso's.

20m NA LP over Africa produced the expected bag of qso's 
between 18-21z, but then the expected openings to NA and JA on 
10m were fizzers, only 7 NA and 4 JA.

15m was no better, found a very weak and lonely JT1BG around 
02z, no other signals on the band at that time. Spent most of the 
afternoon doing some garden (section) work with the odd look 
around the bands.

After sunset things slowly got better, and finished with good runs 
back on 15m LP Eu.

Sad thing is I could not work the a EA8 or EA9, saw the spots but 
signals were very weak or just not there at all. My "usual easy to 
work  Africans", EA8RA,  EC8AUZ and CN8KD did not appear to be 
active.

Last year I couldn't find a station in my own continent! but this year 
it was easy with 5 VK stations in the log.

Equipment: TS850 - 100w
Antenna: 3el Tribander and 40m GP up 55ft
Software: N1MM

Hope to be on for the CQ WPX, see you all again then.

73, Frank ZL2BR
