Comments:

Pretty tough slog until  Sunday! Very high noise levels.
NO signals heard on 160, very few on 80 and 10.

15m open to  EU on Saturday, but  not many Qs.
Sunday morning was better for EU. US Qs saved our bacon both days.

BUT...

Sunday afternoon was **wonderful** ! 15m open to 
North Asia, Japan, US, South America AND Europe - all at once, all afternoon
long, S9 signals. So we ended the  contest with big smiles - after 1.5 days of
frowns.
