> 160m: longwire was doing its job, much missed "the real antenna". And 
> let's say

> cluster -
> when you are not, you can just call, call, call ...
> 80m: good propagation and not so bad QRN like last year, got almost 
> nothing on
> Sunday evening when 40m was good.
> 40m: great band, it would have been easy to break 3000 qsos and an old EU 
> record
> here.
> 20m: closed too early, no openings night time
> 15m: just an average, no high rates even from Europe, some from US
> 10m: called and called and called, my usual money band was useless this 
> time,
> with SO2R would have worked more. No US worked. Only some LU and VK9AA 
> were
> loud. The biggest suprise was to be called by OH1F on the empty band.
