Comments:

Another part time effort. Just way too many family activities to devote the
entire weekend to radio.

Friday conditions seemed great on 40m, great signals into EU. Even managed a
few on 80m which is no small task considering my noise level and small sloper.

The high bands never really popped open on Saturday. 10m had a very brief and
weak opening into EU but was mainly a N/S band. 15m sounded alright but for a
change, 20m was the right band for DX Saturday, shades of 2007-2010.

When I got on Saturday evening hoping for a repeat of Friday night, I was
really disappointed. 10m was still open to Japan, 15m was open over the pole to
AS and even a few northern EU stations, but with strong AU flutter. 20m was
packed with many Russian stations, again all with very strong flutter. 40 and
80m were totally dead and un-usable.

Conditions rebounded on Sunday on the high bands. 10m only produced a very
limited number of western EU stations but was very productive to JA.

Hoping for stellar conditions in the SSB event in a couple weeks!
