Back in I7 - quick summary before I get fully caught up with the work issues.

The score is 279K below the last year score - 46 more QSOs, but 10 multipliers
less, mainly HQ station missed on 15/10m despite all efforts on R2 and
Alternate CQs. The overall EU percentage is 11% higher than last year, reducing
average QSO points to 3.0, compared to 3.3 last year. 

Fortunately,  no thunderstorms, but unfortunately no real opening to US/JA. 
Operating unassisted, with no cluster/skimmer help, I find out that there are
no enough of DX stations to maximize use of the R2 when propagation is poor....
going back and forth, working a few but not enough to fill in the run gaps.
Missed a few that could not hear me, e.g. VE3AT who was quite loud on my side
but could not hear me on 80m at my sunrise time, despite many calls. Worked
another VE3 later and also some other NAs.  

Towards the end I was hoping to fill in HQ gaps on 15/10m, but I could not hear
many needed EU HQ stations on R2. Finally I gave up so I spent last hour on 15
phone.... that was the best run hour, although signals were very suppressed. I
managed to have some 30 minutes of continuing pile up, I guess due to my first
15m SSB appearance.  

Thanks to all for calling 4O3A, congratulations to those whose S/P's skills I
can only admire.
