Seeing a lot postings on this list and 3830 from calls with higher qso  
numbers than me who I never worked, I could almost believe I was in 
a different contest to them. Maybe this contest could be split into two  
sections, a) North America/Europe and b) the rest of the world. 


Anyway, enough of that,  for me 28MHz was <italic>the </italic>band, with a 
good  
opening to Europe SP on Saturday evening plus NA both days 0900- 
1200. 21MHz was also good for SP Europe on Saturday evening, 
but on  Sunday evening it was a case of QSB99. Propagation to 
South America on 21/28 was poorer than normal for this time of year, 
with no SA contacts on those bands. 20m was very 
good/average/poor/very lousy.  Many thanks to KI1G, N5IN and 
AD1C for the spots! And of course thanks to the organisers and 
everyone who answered me or called me. I will have to miss the 
JARTS, gotta go camping with 100 plus Scouts, and help train them 
up for our forthcoming Jamboree. It's JOTA weekend as well, but 
won't have time for that either. 


Now if I may be allowed - a wee promo. The Oceania Contest CW 
is coming up on Oct 13/14, and this year, publicity and promotional 
effort has been directed into getting more Oceania stations on the air 
than in recent  years. So if you need a break from RTTY for 24 
hours, please come and join in.
