Comments:

Thought it cannot be worse than last year, but I was wrong. I heard VE3EJ
everywhere and had noticed that my QSO numbers were higher, but I expected he
was going to beat me anyway with the bonus points. I probably had some advantage
in working UK on lower bands, but was behind with VKs and ZLs on 40, 20 and 15.


My 15 and 20 monobanders on the high tower were stuck pointing to Europe, my
only options for working VK/ZL were tribanders. Given the conditions, the
tribanders are marginal compared to my monobanders that are much higher. Even if
I could turn the monobanders, John would probably beat me - but the scores would
have been closer.
