Comments:

Goodbye to 10M from VK4. How many years will it be gone? The bands were 
terrible and when there were openings all signals were well down in 
strength. I  would have stayed on the full 30 hours if it had been worthwhile.

Scored my first EU(YL2GC) on 80M RTTY!  Could have worked more if I had 
QSYed earlier.

Sure do like these contests that have scoring based on zones. It kind of 
makes up
for the "tyranny of distance". That's far more of a factor in "winning" 
than SO2R, power, antennas,etc.

Its a shame there aren't more VKs participating.  I noted most of the usual 
regulars were on. Its just there appears
to be little net increase in VK rtty contesters over the recent years. 
Perhaps the dropping of the Morse requirement here will spur
HF digital activity.

Thanks to Colin for putting ANARTS on every year.
