Conditions overall seemed reasonable considering the lack of sunspots, but still managed to work some decent stuff including JS3 & E21 on 20m, ZS2 on 15m, which was an improvement over last year when I didn’t work any JA what so ever.

What I did find with this contest was that I got a lot of “AGN” whether this was because I wasn’t in the SCP database or they didn’t quite believe the callsign I don’t know time will sure tell though.

Sadly I didn’t work anything on 80m, I did hear a lot of stations but for some reason people just couldn’t hear me, so most of the QSOs are on 20/40m with a couple on 15m.

What I was surprised to see was 15m open up to North America for a while and I ended up with 7qs on this band. 40m on Saturday evening was also good managing 67q’s including quite a few W’s who seemed rather easy to work even with my setup!

Ended up with 140Q’s and a score of 22 152 with around 3 hours of operating time.
