[UK-CONTEST] ARRL 10 Mtr Contest.

[Dave Sharred]

Hi Brian (and Ken!)

Been just listening in; from here with just my vertical; condx been rubbish
also; but I think yesterday abt 3:30 the band was open to Florida - quite a
few stns on from there.

This morning, I worked 5B4AIF, who was s9+;  and then both you (C4z) and
ZC4LI were on the noise. Go figure !

Well the propagation gods did not wish to play in this part of the globe.
All scores from eu area received were pretty low. Unusually SA stns seemed
to be suffering too. African scores were not bad but some of the numbers
from VK boys were impressive, looks like they had a good time.

After Saturday I did feel that Sunday would be better and couldn't be worse,
wrong. Sunday was dreadful and most of the stn's I heard I had worked the
day previously. Missed quite a few mlts 'cos I couldn't get back to them,
this contest needed power to get through!. 

All of my 35 mlts were dxcc countries, no contacts with NA, best I could
manage was a partial from K1LZ, the only other stn hrd from there was
N200FI. Very disappointing cndx to the east with practically only vk's
coming through although I was calling KH2L fora long period without managing
to get into his reciever, not even a ?

Had enough by mid morning and wrapped it up, there are better things to do
than watching paint dry.
 
QSO's - 158
mults -    35
 
Total score.  22,120.

73  Brian C4Z/5B4AIZ.
