Soapbox:
Ugh! This one started with a bang and ended with a wimper: Day 1, 160 Q's and
47 Mults; Day 2, 91 Q's and 8 Mults. Worked 27 stations east of the MS Day 1
and only 13 on Day 2.
Heard both VK6HD and VK6VZ for the first time on Saturday morning but had
little chance to break the continuous calling on both of their frequencies.
Some of the callers obviously couldn't hear the DX station because HD tried
unsuccessfully to complete a Q for 5 minutes with one of them! Just part of
the fun on top band.
Best moments were breaking the pileup on JA7NI's QSX at Saturday morning
sunrise and finding ZF2NT way after his sunrise all alone in the DX window on
Sunday morning. Thanks Bruce!
See you all in the SPTBC.
