Hi Guys,

Condx definitely better this year especially on lower bands I thought.
I added another 40 radials to my hytower I use on 7Mhz and hopefully that made a difference.
Still reckon some use post-it notes to log as one station worked me 3 times in an hour on
the same band. hi hi. 10 dupes total for the contest.

I struggled on 20m for a good run due to poor rx here, even on the beverage every contact
was AGN AGN.! I’m sure my neighbours new solar panels are to blame. 15m was minimal and
nothing on 10m. 80m was good as was 40m.

This year I followed the graphs of propagation to UK and Caribbean and was pleased I stayed
up thru 1500 to 2100hrs as I did have the best runs during that period.
