[Phil Cooper]

Hi all,

Well, I guess the conditions weren't good!
I thought I had a problem when I started because I couldn't get any of the
big European stations to hear me! I even checked the antenna connections to
make sure!
However, out of desperation, I tried calling KE4KWE (who was way down in the
noise with me) and he came back straight away! So, I was getting out, and
put it down to propagation!

Nothing new country-wise, but I did get a few band-fills, such as FY5FU on
20m, so it wasn't all bad.

Nice to see plenty of SP stations in the contest too, but I missed a clean
sweep on 20m for the lack of province K.

Now we have to hope that conditions improve a great deal so that I can hear
the KH1 team at some point in the next two weeks.

Anyway, here is my effort (much improved from last year!)
