[UK-CONTEST] CQ Worldwide DX Contest, SSB

[philhss at tpg.com.au]

It's interesting to see what 80m was doing on the other side of the planet.

80m, 160m and to some extent 40m, were all noisy during the contest in VK4. 80m and top band 
were a total loss, whilst at least 40m got a bit better on the Sunday.

A whole band of storms played havoc in VK4 too, which didn't help!

Still, all good fun at VK4KW!!

73,

Phil
VK4BAA / VK4KW
