Yes, conditions seemed good on Saturday night . . . I didn't realise there
was a Contest.
I popped on for about an hour . . . didn't put out any CQ calls, as I didn't
want loads of EU stations calling me. But I did work a few DX stations I
heard, a few NA stations, Caribbean, plus the guy in Ghana.
Came on again last night around 0100, but there was very poor DX
propagation.
Regarding VK Contacts from Europe, the problem with our Sunset is that the
band is simply too noisy ! All the hash we get from the Internet wires here
in Britain, plus all the switch-mode power supplies going full blast.
Whereas at Sunrise it's pretty quiet . . . is your Sunset no good for you
Luke?
