Comments:

I showed up......made some noise.....had some fun.

Only put in a titch over 5 hours.

At opening bell VK/ZL action was pretty good on 40 and even 80

10 was dead the times I checked.  Heard VE9CB (who I couldn't work) and a CX7
station (who I also couldn't work)

15 was almost like 10.

20 I found was weak (but keep in mind, I was only on 5 hours)

40 was pretty good in G. Hammered it at 2pm local.

80 was also pretty good. Got on before SS and started working G's and a couple
9H's.

In my own experience there was very few on from anywhere except G,VE,VK,ZL,9H
and a lone ZF2....where were all the Caribean and expeditions....wait, can't
forget Dave @ 3B8 - did work him on one band.

Til next time....
