Comments:

Path to EU was decent, 164 EU worked over several hours.  Best raw point value
QSOs were three 33 pt VK QSOs (2x VK3, 1x Vk5) and a 37 pt QSO with VK6VZ.
Steve/VZ was an easy 559.

The VK QSOs came well before sunrise and were all decent strength / copy, so I
was expecting a nice opening to JA and watched the clock in anticipation...
closer... closer... nothing yet... SR!!  Not a single JA heard LP or SP!  What
a strange band!

Given the usual busted QSO allowance, this should be a new all-time SOHP QSO
total record (unless someone else raced by!), currently held by K9DX at 777
QSOs set in 2009.  I came close, within 5 QSOs, back in 2012.

Fun contest as always despite hiccups here and there, looking forward to the
Spring edition!
