Comments:
Equipment used: TS-440S, full-wave vertical loop on 40 (also used on 15),
dipoles for all other bands.
This contest was a blast! 10 meters was definitely the place to be during
daylight hours here, but all bands seemed pretty decent. The predicted
geomagnetic storm only seemed to materialize as some aurora and increased noise
for half an hour on Sunday around 2100Z. Then conditions returned to normal.
Africa was noticeably lacking this year. The regulars from previous years
didn't seem to be around. Where were they? Also only heard one VK and one ZL
here.
I've never heard RW2F or RU1A so loud on all bands. JA's were really loud here
on 10 also. I heard a lot of loud JA's with 50 watt power levels.
Thanks for all the QSO's!
73, Zack W9SZ
