Comments:
Propagation was pretty good on all but 10 meters. Did not hear any EU or JA on 10.
Did work VK/ZL/SA on 10. Not to many heard there, but could work those heard. Other bands, staying
way up the band got most responses, down in big signal alley, took a while to get response, if at
all. Not many heard on 80, worked a few, and nary a signal on 160.
It was a fun contest with the time I had available.
I felt like a novice again (but with a VFO, and  some decent antennas).
