Comments:
Better 10m conditions than last year of course but not really as good as
hoped/expected. No direct paths north of an east-west line (except briefly to
UA2F) and fairly long F2 skip, which from this QTH means virtually no
inter-Europe except via scatter. Stations north of me said they found it tough
going. However, paths to the south were excellent with some big signals from
Africa, S America (50% of all QSOs), a smattering of unusual DX, strong
backscatter to near-Europe and side-scatter (strongly skewed paths) to USA,
Surprisingly little scatter to Russia and the east, though. USA was worked
between 200 and 250 degrees but only a small number of QSOs, best USA DX
probably K0HA in Nebraska, most consistent US signal from KZ5MM (DR1A in
Europe...). I also worked PY when beaming to the Indian Ocean before the
direct path opened which I don't recall doing before. Only problem with this
stuff is that relatively few stations are prepared to work the weak and
sometimes probably difficult signals - its mainly the multi and fellow monoband
stations who can afford working the low rate! Not quite a full time effort -
family duties - but generally pleased with the score.
