I made a few dozen contacts in this one. The solar flux numbers promised decent/good conditions but never heard much activity. A few stations were loud, like LU6D, but most contacts were not. I'm only using a off-center fed dipole and don't have much gain towards SA but even so, the band seemed puny weak.

Yes the band was not nearly as good as the days leading up to the 'test but was okay here in KH6 land. I ended up with 115 Qs in the CW HP category. 450W to a Hexbeam. See you in the 'test next year.

Even though I was only listening for most of the contest while I was converting some 6 and 10 meter FM radios, the 10 meter band was full and active all weekend up here in the PNW with most countries in SA including the Falkland Islands and even some Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia hams talking to the SA contesters.
