Comments:
Great contest this year ... Better than Expected .... here's my rundown by band
............
10 meters ... Nice openings at noon and evening hours to S / SE ....
Southern Africa also Coming through.... Good propagation both days ......Better
than last year !!
15 Meters ... WOW !!! ... Amazing conditions both Days .... If you didn't " RUN
" on 15.. you missed a bunch of Q's... I worked mobiles ... attic antennas ..
etc ... endless Europeans calling !!
20 Meters ... Great Propagation both days and lot's of multipliers ... Qrm was
incredible though.. I only have one multi-band yagi ( 3 elements for 20 ) on
this band ... so trying to establish a run is tough ......
Great opening into Asia on Sunday at evening .. during last hour of contest
!!
40 Meters ... Average both days ... I could hear many Europeans, well past
their sunrise.... Worked the usual ... Europe / VK / JA .... VK6LK ( Robin )
was very loud on the short path
80 Meters ... Lot's of signals on 80 ..... Europe was tough at our sunset ....
Much easier to work them at the European Sunrise ..... Good opening into JA
and VK at our sunrise ...... Most notable QSO was VK6LK ( Robin ) LONG PATH !!!
.... Sunday afternoon ... Still daylight here !!
160 Meters ... Always tough for me ... My RX antennas are much better than my
TX antenna !! I heard several Europeans with decent signals both days ......
propagation to S / SE was typical.... but had QRN in that direction ..... I
worked the usual Caribbean stations for the easy muti's.
I had 2 hours of sleep on Saturday Afternoon .... as I found myself falling
asleep in between contacts !! ( Hi Hi ) ..... I may have lost a few Q's, but It
worked out ok ... I felt much better Saturday night.
I had 3 hours of sleep in the wee hours of Sunday morning ..... this worked
great ... and I had plenty of energy all day Sunday ...... I have yet to make a
complete 48 hours.... maybe next year !!
I worked 14 stations on all 6 bands ..... 6Y1V , 8P5A , C6APR , FY5KE , HC8N ,
HI3T , J3A , PJ2T , PJ4E , T48K , V26B , V47KP , VP5T , WP2Z
