Conditions were not that great.  Ten meters just wouldn't open to all ofEurope.  Mostly EA and southern Europe.  Fifteen was my money band.  The openingwas long and deep although I never heard Zone 21, 22, or east Africa.  I missedquite a few zones.  I did quite well on 80 meters as the band was very quiet.The surprise of the weekend was an 80m LP contact with OG5B who answered my CQat sunrise.  I took more time off that I have in the past.  Just getting older! One of my irritants this weekend was the frequency of losing spots on telnet.  Ispent about half the weekend without spots.  I still haven't figured outwhy as I showed connected to KM3T but not getting them.  Otherwise everythingworked.  It took several days to get the antennas ready and they all workedfine.  The exception was the 3 el 20m yagi.  The rotator worked before I raisedit but wouldn't work once in the air.  I had to lower it and found a plugnot properly seated.  I then had to raise it again and it worked fine. I keep thinking that our age should be a multiplier!  Despite that thesecontests are still a lot of fun.
