Claimed score 100,098

I suspect the big stations will say conditions were good, but they 
certainly weren't here, QRP is certainly getting harder. High solar 
flux should have been good news, but with the A index at 40 on Friday 
and the K index at 4 at the start, it was far from so. I nearly gave 
up after the first hour but carried on. This year I operated in the 
first 12 hours, probably meaning conditions will be better in the 
second half...

Very little worked outside Europe, and only a single North American 
station and that was on 40 (VY2/W1MO). And only 3 new band slots for 
2004... Uninspiring in the extreme!

Anyway I seem to have beaten my last year's score by a fair margin, 
mainly with a good effort on 40 and 80.
