It was the first yaer, where the sun spot minimum finally hit me. No 10m and lots of hifh power stations stations on 40/80m, which made it a little more difficult to go through.
Anyway. It was fun and 40m was open till 11:00z :-).

The picture shows how we spent the time between '40m no longer open & 20m not yet open' from a NW European viewpoint.
