Operating time: only 7hrs in a row - definitly just for fun
==========================================================================
COMMENT: Despite NA claimed to have good condx I found them to be average.
Participation (at least from exotic places) seemed to me
very poor, according to my low Q-rates.
Did activate the OE5-multiplier just for fun - and enjoyed 15m
open to NA and Japan at the same time.
Not as much fun as I hoped for - sorry ;-)
Got surprised by 5A1A, who called me - thought Abubaker wanted to
take part as SOSB on 10m (DX-MB info)?!
ZF1A did try to steal my QRG at least 2 times, a russian station
tried it also - but no luck for both of them. The ZF1A-Op. seemed
to have a deaf RX and his TX-freq. was drifting like hell!
Not a good performance by ZF1A - and very annoying.

PS: Latest TK/OE5XVL - Information:
Our Corsica Expedition was not able to participate in the WPX test due
to a miscalculation of the contest-date, hi (SRI!).
TK/OE5XVL finished with 5555 Q`s on shortwave + a couple on VHF.
Until now we received approx. 150 direct letters to the CBA of OE5XVL
and to my address as well (a reliable way is only to my personal CBA!).
We will QSL 100% to all 5555 Q`s - direct letters with sufficient postage
will be answered directly, other QSL are sent via buro automatically.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! IMPORTANT: o n e US-Dollar is NOT(!) sufficient to cover postage !
! from Austria and Germany to the rest of the world!!!! !
! !
! It would be great if you would take notice of the "one-dollar"-problem! !
! ----------- !
! Here in my QTH I still can use IRC`s - but in Germany the federal post !
! now doesn`t accept one IRC anymore for oversea-letters!!! Perhaps we`ll !
! get the same here in Austria in the future! !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As some of the US-Stations did include 2xIRC - and I greatly honour such
behaviour! - these extra(!) IRC will be used to send back letters to hams
who didn`t include sufficient return-postage - OF COURSE!!!!!

Thanks for reading this TK/OE5XVL info - spread it on your local packet-
system, DXcluster or what ever...
