Comments: My aim was 2 500 q's but I got
2 232 q's. Anyway it's 100 more than a
year ago. Multipliers were hard to find:
tried V51AS, T77C and ZP0R without results
but worked all others I heard.JA7IC was 339
on Sunday afternoon - no QSO and same with
still weaker VK. Lost zones 25,29 and 30.

Saturday afternoon US pile up's were great.
A couple of hours over 180 q's per hour with
low power. Sunday was more difficult: only four
hours over 100 q's when in Saturday the number
of those hours was eight.

Anyway operating from Bermuda has been a great fun.
I would like to thank again Ed VP9GE for the great
hospitality and an opportunity to use his apartment
and antennas for my operation.

Thank you for QSO's!
