Just for little fun and to give boys/girls number and multiplier.  20m to US was
big for a short time.

Thanks all who called.

 The band is in a good shape.  There is more than 20 station within the 10 kHz window.

 Very good rate for short while running stations to Us

 Quite satisfying for couple of hours at the bottom of the solar cycle.

cheers

BERU Commonwealth contest 2020

Another BERU is over.  One of my most favored tests.  Been mix of fun and frustration.  Fun when the condx were good frustration when one worked 4 QSOs per hour.

Thank you all who called.

This year I've done slightly better than last year. I could work practically everybody I could hear.

Yes there was slack time for a coffee.

Small list of interesting DX calls:

ZF2CA
VK3JA
3B8XF
VP8NO

Been fun.

The VP8PJ DX expedition to South Orkneys is just about to pack up and go home.

I've been neglecting  this blog lately.
I had lots of things to do in the new house.  It will take longer before I can declare that all is done.

The boys at South Orknes are just about to pack up and go home.  I think that it was very successful expedition, however not much for us here in VK.

I consider myself lucky to work them only once on 30 m.  For me it was ATN.

My friend Barry VK2BJ was luckier.

On the other hand Luke VK3HJ did rather well:

I had the privilege to meet two members of the expedition two years ago at Fridirchshafen fair in Germany.

Gene is on the left, Les in the middle and the ugly one on the right is me.
