Topband: CQ WW 160 from VK Land.

[vk3io]

Hi all Top Banders.

This year's contest was almost a total wipe out as far as VK was 
concerned, due to summer storms on the east coast and the usual topical 
storms up north and a cyclone off the west coast made it impossible.

I did hear a few good signals from North America during our Saturday 
evening in amongst the constant S9+20dB static crashes and some great 
signals from Europe at around our Sun rise time on our Sunday and Monday 
mornings, as the static level subsided.

I managed only 12 qso's, only to Europe.

It seemed like there was going to be a good peak to Europe on our Monday 
morning at our Sun Rise, but I had to depart early for work. Some great 
signals, some S9 and if I had been on at the peak, maybe even stronger.

Cheers, until next contest, CQ WW 160 Phone.
