Comments:

Nothing too remarkable. Band was not as noisy as it has been. Results are better
than last year mainly due to time in the chair. As is typical for me in the
Stew, not much DX was heard: My usual two Caribbeans KV4FZ & FM5CD, JA, KH6,
KL7, plus my traditional max DX winner CE1/K7CA. No UA0's this year which is
unusual. And I could SWEAR that I heard just one CQ from VK4YB and then he was
gone. Too bad for me, I could use a VK for my 160 DXCC. My big mistake this
year was not getting on and working some JAs the first hour. Might have racked
up a few hundred more points. Best hour was about 50 Q's, also pretty normal.

Antennas: 15 m high top-loaded vertical, plus loop on ground ~ 1 wavelength.
The loop doesn't help with directivity but it's quiet and makes great diversity
with the TX antenna.

73 and thanks for the Q's
Carl WS7L
