This year seemed a little busier than last year; but only 5B 5Z 6Y 9H and ZF worked outside Gx VE VK and ZL. 80m very quiet with VK/ZL (and JA) being heard; 15m plagued by variable propagation and fierce multipath echoes making it hard to copy callsigns and serials. Thunderstorms stayed away this year so little QRN. Plenty of BERU traffic during VK Saturday night / early Sunday and early Sunday evening, with Sunday daytime being relatively quiet. It was another enjoyable contest – thanks to everyone who answered my calls and my apologies to those who I couldn’t hear. Looking forward to next year’s contest! VK2IG
