Comments:

This weekend put the "test" in contest. Major aurora and disturbed conditions ruined 
the intercontinental action for most of both days from here. 
 
Conditions were very bleak. 

First day was no fun at all, and the second day was only marginally better. The only band that played better
than I expected was 80M -- all others lacked sparkle.

Had a good run Sunday morning on 40 meters into JA.  Work 110 of them.
 
EU on 20M was pitifully thin. The openings both days were either so short that I missed out, or so weak I didn't detect them. 
Only the superstations were workable, and it definitely felt like one-way propagation, with some reactor-powered EU signals 
that couldn't hear QRO from this end of the AU=9 polar path. 

Don't think I had a single EU answer to plaintive CQs all weekend.  Total of only 24 Q's into Eu.  Work only 55 countries.

Things can only get better... as always, next year. Thanks for the contacts. 

RTTY ops, remember the new DLDC long-distance RTTY contest June 12 and 13 -- if you loved ANARTS, 
as many did, this one's for you.
