COMMENT: After heavy storms with hail the IARU HF Championship was in time
for
some relaxing QSOs. Went for higher QSO-rate and therefore missed some good
multis on the lowbands. But had tremendous fun being called by NA and Japan
at the same time, interlaced with some EU.

One more statistical observation ----> THE MINI-PILEUP`S
I don`t know if it`s the same from your QTH, but at least from OE5 it`s
fascinating:
While running on one frequency from Austria there`s no continuous flow of
stations calling you. Rather more it seems like stations tend to wait on
your
frequency until they are 3-5 stations and then they all together try to call
you.
While this is no problem for me - what makes me a bit thoughtful is that my
rate-meter often shows numbers of 250 to 300 Q/h.
What happens is that immediately after you worked the mini-pileup down you
call 2 to 7 minutes without anyone calling you.
So you simply can never achieve that rates (wish OE would be a rare one!).
Yes, if your callsign appears on the cluster system at the DX you sometimes
see an increase of Q-numbers, but they dry up rather quickly.
73 es cu in the "mini-pileup`s",
