Comments:

It looks like we are going into the next minimum now.
10m was very disappointing. It was going a little bit on day one but hopeless
on day. I wasted too much time here hoping for the band to open. 40 m was in
good shape but the OTH radar made life hard on night one. Night two showed with
good conds and a quiet band with loud signals but slow rates down here. 15m was
open at unusual times and signals coming virtually from everywhere which made
me think something wrong with my antennas. It did not matter where to point it.


It is frustrating when stations start CQing with S9+ on top of me. Makes me
think my 500 W are QRP.

It was first time that I used my stack matches running multiple antennas (into
different directions). A real improvement... even if it did not help to make a
better result than 2 years ago (my last real entry in WPX CW)! 

Thanks for all the contacts!
