Comments:
Always a great contest, with plenty of stations to work
even single-band. However, I had to sweat until the penultimate
QSO for that elusive African multiplier to give that 6th continental
mult.
Day 1 turned into a disaster area; mostly due to over indulgence
in the Cypriot brandy the night before. Needless to say, I spent most
of Saturday QRT in the bathroom, generally feeling unwell.
Sunday however, proved a much better day at the radio. Highlights
were being called by VK9NS for an all-time new one. Some of the W's were
weak and I'm surprised they copied my 100w to a gp.
When 15m was really buzzing, the only way forward was to work split,
but why did 90% of callers all TX exactly 1 KHz up? Others who were away
from the rabble got worked much quicker.
Thanks to everyone for the QSOs and making it an enjoyable BARTG RTTY.
