Solar indices were not great for this event. Very high solar winds, K-index
primarily at 3 or above and no opening from NA to Eu om 10m (that path has been
quite poor the last 45 days).
Participation was almost entirely from Eu stations. Overall, U.K./EI QSOs made
up 28% of my log as I hunted their high contact point value plus mults (28 of
155 unique District Codes were logged). Missed GI, GJ and GU I was in S&P
mode for 95% of my QSO's...running with Low Power was unproductive for me.
Worked others participating in Helvetia (HB9) and Brazil contests plus a few SES
contacts as well. Nice to work many excellent CW ops in this one. Thanks for
the contacts! I continue to enjoy posting and watching the on-line Contesting
Scoreboard...and encourage others to do so too. For my chosen category, LP(A) I
appeared very competitive for the 'DX Outside Eu' Region.
