Hi,

Just a few notes from a not very serious entry.

SO AB QRP CW 12 hours

Score about 175437
Eqpt K2 (what else!) Optibeam HF, sloper/vert 80/40

1. I thought  condx were not too bad - better than forecast looking at
the indices. Even stations on 28 and a few JAs over the pole on 21. Not
much activity from US/Carib/SA.

2 Writelog threw a tantrum and wouldn't let me log any non island
stations so this led me to a rather leisurely S&P of only island
station. This developed into quite an interesting exercise. WL is going
in the bin, time to try something new

3. QRP is always requires patience, still with JA/HS/9M6 it just took a
lot ( like about 50!!) of calls and waiting until they were not being
called. Also surprising who doesn't come back - all down to noise I guess.

4 Speaking of which there were plenty of clix on 14
