     Conditions gave impression not many Italian Stations active
     compared to previous years..maybe all on SSB or RTTY ?
 
     A token effort on 160/80 late Saturday before I fell asleep!
     Spent most of Saturday pulling LDF5-50 coax around so fresh
     air got the better of me...

     Sunday PM between chores then more effort Sunday PM by which
     time I got to enjoy the contest..not the QRN S9+++
