Terrible Band Conditions. Good Bye my ‘ol frined 10m…KU4V

Pretty uncooperative ionosphere at this location – a couple feeble openings to South America was about all I was able to enjoy. Maybe things will be better next week…KX7L

I originally had no intention of submitting a log for sccoring, so I did not save or enter any of exchanges other than RST. The domestic contacts were no problem but I have no record of the serial numbers for the DX contacts. 73 Jim N7ELB…N7ELB

Just a few qso to make the TK multiplier available and to share the fun with my daughter (9 old) who tried to guess the qth from the call signs of callers. 10m shut down too early, a high power category should be nice. 73 to all, will try a more serious effort next time maybe…TK5MH

LATE STARTING. CONDX VARIABLE…VK7BO

We (K6UFO and ND2T) operated remotely from San Francisco to a station in Maine. Propagation barely showed up for this year’s contest. K6UFO got up at Sunrise in Maine 12z to look for Europeans. Two hours later he had only worked SEVEN stations. Finally some weak and brief openings and we worked more than one-half of our QSOs and Mults in the next two hours 14z and 15z. Then it was sunset in Europe, and a long, long day of looking for NA/SA stations. We alternated CQing and S&P to stay alert. The Skimmer spots were plentiful, but just no propagation from Maine to many locations. The last couple hours 19Z and 20Z we looked west, but never worked ZM2B. Tom received a surprize with 3D2KM calling him! Big point contribution was 91 USA QSOs, Thanks! Also, thanks to WW1ME for use of the callsign.
