Comments:
Waaayyy better propagation than the SSB outing. Early morning and late afternoon
20m signals from EU were quite strong and Au flutter free. Heard a bit of Au on
sigs on Friday night.
The goal this time was to work a prefix only once, so 100% S&P. I love
hunting for mults. I worked two prefixes twice by mistake - ZL4 and JL3. Most
stations needed only one call, so I felt loud with my doublet.
Only a few sigs heard on 10m, and 40m only worked for me in the early morning
(sunrise). Many times I'd comb 20m and couldn't find anyone to work, so I'd take
a break and let the band change. Always worked.
I sense that we're pretty close to the bottom of the cycle. Interesting to see
what happens next year. I guess the RAC CAN is next, and then the IARU.
Maybe I'll get the towers up this summer.
