Comments:

Have conditions ever been worse? Four major solar flares in the days leading up
to the contest, including one X-class flare at 1200UTC on the Sunday which
completely wiped out all bands here for 4 hours - not a single signal from
anywhere was audible on any HF amateur band here for four hours. When
propagation returned, it was not too bad on 20m for a few hours. Not a single
QSO on 10m, though: I guess we have to get used to this for the next few years.


80m had S9++ static thunderstorm QRN, I guess from Hurricane Irma, a few
hundred
kilometres to the north of me. I hope all our amateur friends in the northern
Caribbean islands and in Florida are all safe. 

I enjoy sending the QTCs in this contest and it was good to work many old and
new friends. Rig: FT-2000, Acom 1500 amp at 1kW to Spiderbeam at 10m for
10-15-20m, 2-element phased verticals on 40m, full-size quarter-wave vertical
on 80m. See you next year, 73 Steve, PJ4DX.
