This was a tough one. I only heard one station on 20M, VK7GN. On 80 I heard
about 5 or 6 but could only manage to break one pile up. I never heard anything
on 15 or 10 and didn't even listen on 160 after my poor performance on 80.  I
didn't get started until 11:30Z so I missed some of the hours that I would have
had propagation.  That's what you get for sleeping late!  Even on 40 when the
signals from ZL just started to peek above the noise I spent lots of time
listening before calling to make sure I got the number right. Hopefully I
received them all correctly.  Too bad I only found one Hawaiian station, KH7XS.
 I have much better propagation to there than to ZL and VK!

Thanks for the Q's.  I see you next year and let's hope for much better
conditions then than this year.
