Comments:

We were a little short of our normal operators this year, so many thanks to
Simon, DJ4MZ and Martin, DL5RMH for travelling from Southern Germany to join us,
and to Garo, G0PZA for joining us for the first time.

Considering where we are in the sunspot cycle, this contest was remarkably
enjoyable and interesting, with poor HF conditions balanced by great LF
conditions. 10m was as poor as we have ever seen it, and kudos to G3ZAY and
G0PZA for sticking to a band of silence.

It was remarkable to walk into the 160m shack 90 minutes after sunrise and hear
and work North Amercian stations at that time - interestingly coming from SW
rather than on the direct path. The second night on 40m was also great with
fantastic signals from the West Coast of the US. We worked 162 countries on 40,
but heard nearly 170. Some pile ups were too unruly to spend time in - some
stations were very marginal. 

Compared to last year, some bands are up a bit and some are down a bit - and we
landed up very close to last year's score. Our overall result is very close to
last year.

There were a number of stations (big ones) with very broad CW signals with
multiple tones in their signal. It takes effort to make a CW signal like that
from a modern radio - I hope this wasn't a means to keep stations away from
their run frequency. There were also the stations who we kept calling and never
came back to us - until we realised we were calling them on their 2nd harmonics!


Thanks to everyone for the QSOs, multipliers and competition, and we and look
foward to seeing you all again next year.
