> A tough nut to crack, with 20m fully loaded with big signals.

> Unassisted so I had to dig for my own gold. The problem is some operators rely

> Sometimes I decided to jump in and work 'm and then ask for their call. Luck was

> The good thing about the band being so packed was you had to listen for every
> possible clear frequency to start a run. That way I encountered many (weak) DX
> mults.

> Also, two times I returned to my old running QRG after a S&P excursion to find
> it taken by... a double mult! Woohoo  ;o)
> 
> Sadly missed out on some easy double mults (KL + KH6) and I bailed out early
> without a LU country mult. How did that happen??? Tired and fed up with SSB I
> guess - long live CW!
> For KH6 I might blame conditions but I worked a true KL1 on Friday when
> checking the setup and I worked a dozen PY so LU should have been possible
> too.

> CU in WW CW, hopefully SOAB with beter pre-contest preparation...
