WA3EKLMULTI-TWOThe propagation was really poor. Everyone had a great time
WA5WFESA LOW 15MHorrible conditions on 15. Almost no sigs from Europe (except Finland, Spain) or Japan. Band was barely open south of equator but not much north of equator.

WB2RSO QRP ALLThanks to all who listened to my qrp signals
WB4OMMSA QRP 20MKX-3 running 5W out to an A3S 3EL 20M beam. Only a few hours available, but figured I'd see what I could work. Never ceases to amaze me, I can get the S4 TF QSO on the second call, but couldn't work any of the 59+ europeans with repeated calls! Also got the 6W (OK, that one took a LOT of calls!!). Anyhow, It was a fun few hours. 73 to all! Steve WB4OMM
