That was one tough Contest - and I thought the conditions couldn't 
get worse last Fall!  The Solar Flux Index, A and K indexes tried to 
equal each other in number :-) .  Plus the noise from local storms 
did not help.  All QSOs are definitely appreciated under these 
conditions - thanks.

Still, these conditions make operating interesting as you get 
surprised by the strength of some signals.  ZM2A was stronger than 
most Europeans when worked at 1244Z long path on 20 meters.  VK6HZ 
was okay copy on 40 meters at 1207Z, long after my sun rise.  Same 
for W7WW at 1234Z on 40 meters.

Hopefully, conditions will improve for next year's SP-RTTY Contest.
