Comments:
Bands were not closed during the weekend.
They were not open either; steady flow of QSOs but no runs.
Despite this, getting through pile-ups was surprisingly painless from this
end.
Big guns from JA/USA were not as loud as they usually are and
I had a feeling smaller pistols had trouble getting a QSO with me.
EU was completely missing. Some south Europeans came through
at times.
More stations came through backscatter type of propagation from odd
directions.
We are used to have direct openings on 15 between, for example DL and OH0.
Missed a lot of multis because of that; and more than a hundred potential
one-pointers.
At the beginning of the contest, I was too tired; had to sleep 3 hours
already
during early Saturday morning our time.
However, even the last hour produced some nice QSOs, so I did not
feel I lost all that much after all.
9A3GW seems to have had at least some propagation to Europe.
Congratulations for excellent score!
