Gday ,

You were a little hard to hear here a lot of the time – I suspect skip zone or back of beamitis 😊 Glad to get you in the log at least twice I think we managed.

VK5WIA HQ  managed just over 200 QSOs for what turned out to be a part time effort. No 80m this year – antennas are still down for that band – a winter project when it is not 40C+ here

Contest: RSGBBERU

Played band hopper with a few of the stations managing 4 bands with quite a few. I also managed to work a few of the African and Caribbean stations as well as a couple of Vus. No 9Ms or ZS however ☹

So with that I will see you all again next year as VK5WIA HQ
