Comments:

Great fun as always and those QTCs means this is always one of my favourite
weekends each year. Receiving your first batch of ten always sharpens you up.

Condx seemed better on day 1 and things became slower at times during Sunday
afternoon, thankfully there were still stations I hadn't collected the full
batch of QTCs from so that kept me relatively busy. Taking ten QTCs over the
pole from W7 or KL7 is always satisfying, followed by another ten at 40 wpm
from those UA9 chaps.

15m was very frustrating. It appeared that fifteen was wide open for most
stations but I found it a real struggle with weak signals and no opening at all
to JA. Wasn't sure if it was a 'northern europe' problem or my vertical favoured
high-angle too much on 15m.

I think DARC should consider switching WAEDC CW to September, the Phone to
November and the RTTY to August.

Thanks to the OM for use of his station for the weekend.
