Comments:

A five band contest, when two of the bands are virtually unusable, should be
disappointing, however I quite enjoyed Beru this year - especially as I had
three QSOs in the last hour, whereas last year I had none. 40m was in good shape
and worked well with my 4-square. 20m was quite good but lacking in the Far East
and Far West directions. 80m was good but the 80m opening to ZL at 6:30 on
Sunday was a little disappointing. I enjoyed the added interest from the eight
UK&CD HQ stations, working three of them on five bands and all of them on
80m and 40m. My setup had SO2R which meant I could run on one band whilst
searching on another - which is effective in a contest that is all about finding
QSOs at every possible opportunity. I was pleased to work many VKs and ZLs -
something I always dreamed of doing when I was first licensed as a teenager.
