Comments:
I ended up about 15 QSOs short of my count for 2019 when I ran GB5CC before. I
am not sure we should continue with this HQ callsign; I get so many G6HCC
responses, it is untrue, and then the other guy is confused by the large serial
number. We will see what callsigns are available next year.
Overall conditions were OK for this point in the sunspot cycle. VK and ZL were
pretty good on most bands but only a few on 15m and none on 10m. Similarly, VE
were a just a few on 15m and none on 10m.
We missed having no travellers but this was somewhat compensated by the large
number of ZL, VK, VE and UK HQ stations. The balance seemed OK. My Wintest
struggled to understand that the ZL6HQ/* stations were not the same one and it
also failed to recognise the VK*WIA stations correctly - so I did work a dupe
before I got the hang of what it was doing.
Quite a few angry demands to QSY out of the bottom of 20m during the daytime.
Highlights were marginal QSOs - LP to ZL on 20m late in our evening and a QSO
with VK4WIA which was tricky but rewarding.
