Comments:

Hmm, mixed feelings this time.

The band was more or less closed at start, 00.00 GMT, the real start was in the
morning. Run through the day was in general moderate, afternoon with marginal
signals from NA covered by constant QRM. A number of people just appear on the
frequency or nearby and start cq-ing. After several year period of no jamming,
in recent ctest experienced again various sorts of intrusion. 

It was a bit surprising to me that band remained well opened after midnight in
Saturday evening. This would require change of operation plans, which was not
done in order to have some use of Monday. Thus, was in the air the second day
in one slot from the morning and until the 36h expiration in the evening. The 
band was still opened with good signals at the shutdown in the evening.

Only three elements of the upper antenna were functional this time - could not
speculate on influence to the signal pattern and strength. It was definitely
not degraded in VK, ZL and KL7. As a nice surprise and record margin for me
from S5, a 74 VK's, 19 ZL's, and 16 KL7 with good signals were logged. For
obvious reasons there were in total only 41 JA's, one JA7 from Tohoku region
and a number of JA1.

My tributes to those stations that managed to achieve higher score.

Thanks for all calls and best 73s de
Marko, S50K
