Comments:

This RTTY contest had maybe the worst band propagation ever with an unsettled
geomagnetic field (K 4 -5) so i was marvelling that nevertheless i could make
some contacts and when i compare to the former years i´m quite happy with my
final score. 

I noticed that many of the signals were not so loud altogether than i am used to
be from the recent past. Some regions were totally or almost unhearable here
like Canada or some Scandinavian stations. Loudest station here on 80 m from USA
was W1UE - what a killer signal! Of course i tried it ... but due my bad antenna
i didn´t get him in my log.

Mainly on 40 and 20 m i noticed the poor propagation. Yes i did hear even ZF1A
on 40 m and PZ5RA or LU6ETB on 20 m loud but they didn´t hear me at all ... not
even a QRZ? Normally it works without any big troubles ... so this time it was a
lot more difficult to get some DX in the log!

This contest has changed my mind ... more sunspots would be nice of course but
it helps tremendously if no flare attack is visible at all and especially not
earth directed.

Thanks to everyone who get me in their log and for your patience if my signal
was poor 😉
