Total Score includes 4200 VK bonus points (17 contacts).
Another slow contest for me, where were the Europeans? Only 51 contacts with
Zones 14/15/16, whereas participation from North America was excellent, with
that continent making up 181 of my 320 contacts. Of course propagation probably
played a role, as a lot of the cluster spots seemed to indicate that 21 and 28
were in great shape in the Northern hemisphere, but south of equator both bands
were dog-meat. Just 3 Eu contacts on 21 and nil on 28.
On a positive note, the simple but sometimes worrying task of making sure I
worked 6 continents, was overcome very early on in the contest when I worked
R1ANT at the Mirnyy Antartic base for my sixth continent, so CN8KD who I worked
soon after, thus became my seventh continent!
A low-side of the weekend, was the OTHR QRM problem on 40m, (which lost me a lot
of contacts), which over the past few months is increasing to real annoying
levels on 40m and 80m, due I believe in part to the commissioning of a new OTHR
system in Australia. In the evenings the OTHR signals are S8/9 on 6990-7070kHz
here.
73, Frank
