Comments:

Thank you to Paul and Jo for hosting me for this one.

Thanks to Don G5W (G3BJ) for motivating me to keep on going!

It certainly turned out to be interesting. Low band conditions were not so
good, with a high A index. AU was definitely around - the signals sounded like
they were being heavily absorbed.

20m proved very interesting on Sunday evening, with a long opening to Far East,
North America, South America all simultaneous. 15 never really opened to the
states. It wasn't really worth running on 10 at all.

Thanks all for the QSOs. These events are so enjoyable. We have a wonderful
hobby!

73, de Mark M0DXR (@ G6PZ)
