     Comments: Great fun with very interesting conditions for my little 
     station. 
     
     Used Packetcluster in CQWW for first time and enjoyed it-
     Certainly more mults and better score - probably less qsos  

     Highlights:  VR2, 5A on 10
                  HC8N on 6 bands, TF3IRA on 4 bands, A61AJ on 2 bands
                  78 Europeans on 10 Sunday morning
                  VK9LX in big pile-up on 20
                  Total of 114 countries worked across all bands

     Lowlights    Working only 1 European (GW3YDX) on 80 Saturday night -
                  quit before their sunrise
                  Missing 5V7 on 80                                             
       
                  Having to choose only one band at a time Sunday morning 
                  with good conditions on 3 other bands !!
                  GI0KOW CQing at me repeatedly on 10 Sunday morning..
