Started around 1330UTC, but then lots of noise . . . almost no stations on 15 meters and 10 meters was a bit better in the afternnon compared to last year, propagation not at its best. Non on 80: high line noise, and only heard a few stations. 40 meters was OK as nighttime proppagation is getting better.

But as the day passed by it got better. My best band was 20, and I can atest that lots of HQ stations were on the air as always, mainly from Europe. Got to work a VK and two KH6s and the highlight was working NU1AW/5 and  W1AW/6 back-to-back on 20 meters. And my log was sent this morning
