Comment:
"Another fun BERU - my best score so far from ZL6QH. Compared to recent
year conditions were excellent on 15m and 10m but down on 80m and 40m. This
year GM3POI was the only station worked on 80m short path. Did not work or
hear any African stations - poor propagation or no activity?
Well done to Bob G3PJT for his awesome effort from ZL4CC and establishing a
new ZL record for us to chase!
A couple of suggestions to make life easier and encourage participation:
1. The contest currently ends at 1:00 am local time on Monday which really
is too late for those who have to go to work. How about starting earlier on
the Saturday - say at 09:00 UTC?
2. Any chance of getting the Commonwealth contest scoring into CT and the
other major logging programs?
Thanks to the Contest Manager/s for making this contest happen, to Bob
G3PJT for all the publicity and to John VK4EMM for the Quickscore software."
