(and

> Condx on 160m and 80m were much down from last year. Two first nights on
160m

This

> 40 - 15m were great, after first 12 hours I had 2020 qsos. 10m was still
FB but
> US openings were shorter than in 2001 or 2002. On Sunday evening 15m
suddenly

auroral

> I made new personal qso rate record: 225 qsos per hour (I wonder what is
the
> best qso rate ever achieved by OH op)(best 10min rate 270 qsos) and had 10
hours
> over 170 qsos per hour. First time I worked with CT Win -version (under
Windows
> XP) and it suprised me by working very well :)
