Soapbox:
Condx were mediocre on Saturday, slightly improved on Sunday, at least for 
European stations. Few NA stations heared/worked at all, even fewer JA and 
OC. ZL2AMI and VK4UC were the only ones from down under - TU. Practically no 
short skip made it difficult to find a calling frequency. Even if I heard 
nothing, I only found somebody working another german station on my calling 
frequency... 
Anyway, it was fun seeing the old crowd and lots of new calls, amazing to see 
some years of first licensing... 1928 was the record (RW9C, probably a 
clubstation?), but 1934 or 1935 was very impressive as well. Man, what must 
amateur radio been like back then, what changes in technology did these guys 
live through. And still going strong, fantastic...
Highlights - few. Getting the report through in some cases.
Lowlights - the usual, stupid reports like "5NN" or CQ calls like "CQ de 
DF4OR-DF4OR-DF4OR" (callsign is just an example hi). I hate it when I have to 
use the keyboard during an RTTY contest, hi hi.

Thanks to the sponsors and all who worked me.
73,
Ekki, DF4OR

P.S.: What do we do until CQWW? It's 5 weeks until then!
