Dear readers,

Reading EQP results on the reflector I get the impression that only in =
the US good condx existed during the EQP.
On this side of the Atlantic and the North Sea  10 & 15 m were dead on =
both days. 20 m was poor. 40 & 80 m were reasonable, but US stations too =
weak to work. I worked twice with VE1RGB - like everybody seems to have =
made contact with - on 20 & 40 m. EQP activity in Europe was very low to =
my ears. I only heard and worked SP9NSV on=20
20 m Sunday afternoon using a K2. On Saterday afternoon I heard YI9RVT - =
IRAQ - . He was 529 with me (sri Wayne for the RST). I called him and he =
heard my sigs, but could not get my callsign correct, in the end he got =
weaker and I had to give up. A pity because it was a new QRP country for =
me. So I ended up with 3 QRP QSO's and 9 points. No need for a =
computerprogram this time to calculate my score.=20
But anyway thanks to Wayne for organising EQP.
Working condx this side: K2, CW only, 5 W out. Ant.: GP and Wire =
Dipoles.

73/72,
