Comments:

It was good to hear 20 in such good shape.  I was surprised to not hear a single
VK or VK6.  I must have been asleep when they were on.  All during the weekend I
kept hearing 3B8M, despite which direction my antenna was pointed, often S-9+
signal.  My problem started when a severe line noise appeared 2 days before the
contest.  The noise level jumped up from the usual S-3 to S-5, with S-7 periods
during about 30% of the contest. My apologies for being unable to copy many
calls during those times.  I will have a lot busted calls this year.  I did what
I could.
