Comments:

(15m totals are shown)

Equipment: one old Kenwoood at 100w and one Spider beam pole for a backyard
Vertical.

It was not too bad but EU propagation was rather disappointing comparing to a
week or so ago. Zone 16 was not present even just after sunrise in W6 (I think
I heard one signal but that was quickly gone). Zone 15 was also hard to work
with very distorted signals especially on Sunday morning. Nothing heard from
zone 17 and only one station worked from zone 18.

Other than that propagation to JA was good and that helped a lot. Heard two
stations from JT after sunset  but could not get to neither of them for a
double mult. Overall, happy with the zone count and a bit lower that planned on
country numbers.

Also spent some hours on 80m to work DX but that was hard from here with 100w.
Happy to get C5A on both bands. Also VK6AA, C91NW were some of the more distant
DX on 15.

Many thanks

Sergey
