Comments:
How enjoyable to have great propagation again and especially welcome back to ten
meters! This weekend seemed like the "old days" of HF contesting
returned and I feel like I've finished a physical sporting event - tired but
happy with the results.
The good solar flux allowed 15 meters to be open long hours so from VK to EU was
very busy for long periods although very little heard from NA and nil from SA.
20 meters offered the long missed long path Aussie morning opening to US/Canada
for big signals and runs of over a hundred for me both days. From my part of
the southern tip of Australia in VK3 I normally hear very little of North
America so this long path opening on 20 provides the mults and contact numbers
that have been missing in recent years.
The best part of the weekend for me was the return of ten meters. From VK we
normally have trans-equitorial prop to JA during the full solar cycle but his
contest the band opened to Europe for many hours. My log shows 410 Q's on ten
that were mostly EU. The operators on ten seemed top quality and the EU ZOO
seemed to be taking a bit of a rest this time on that band. Hi Hi
Thanks to all who called and I look forward to many good stories from others on
this excellent contest weekend.
