Work and a young family have meant that radio has taken a back seat so it was
great to back contesting again.

To me, WAE is a Marmite contest and I love it! This year, I took QTCs seriously
and tried to send as many QTCs as possible.

Conditions were variable, much QSB on 15m and 10m never fully opened, plus 10m
had frustrating multi-tone QRM across the CW section. The good news is that 20m
stayed open all night on Saturday (not so on Sunday) and 40m was quieter (no
radar). Apologies for the requests for repeats but weak signals and QSB made
things slow sometimes. Thank you for the repeats and patience.

As an un-assisted contester I took up DARC's offer of packet for all entrants.
I ran RBN all weekend and chased mults on my band map. It's addictive and I can
see why the assisted sections are popular. I may rethink my CQWW CW plans.

RBN allowed me to follow the big guns in S.E. Asia - 9V1YC, HS0ZIA and XW0YJY.
Finding their run frequencies, having a listen and comparing single strengths
on RBN into Europe. Some lessons learnt and a need for more aluminum here :-)
