Well that was pretty dire. Made the RSGB 80m sprints look positively
exciting, almost. Poor activity and poor conditions.
138 QSO's in 4 hours on 3 bands... 20m propagation was bad, 40m was the
banker band for me. Went to a lot of effort to make up a fan dipole for
20 and 40m to go with existing 80m dipole, so felt I had to give it the
full effort, otherwise I might have quit after the first hour.
Surprised at the lack of skill exhibited by some in this more
established event. There were some magic moments, but if more people
used the advised format for sprint echanges, things would be so much
more exciting.
