12/12/2005 | G3YMC Well I beat last year's total so I guess conditions weren't that bad after all! The band was open for a couple of hours on Saturday morning then it closed... On Sunday there were very short openings but very little heard in the way of dx. But I was very pleased to QSO PZ5C -he popped up out of the noise, gave him a single call and worked him, then he was gone again! It seems we at more northern latitudes never get the openings those further south get. Always fun in the QRP section with my K2, can't wait for the band to get back in shape again. 73 Dave -- G3YMC
