EI4GNBSO LP ALLband seemed less exotic then last year,but the activity was intense - i had to give up at 8pm sunday because i was feeling dizzy!!! great fun - as usual..
EI4GYBSO HP 40MWorked short propagation around Europe in the daytime and went intercontinental for more points after dark Band conditions were constantly changing most contacts were east/west of my station poor propagation to the north and south, a combination of running and search and pounce worked best.

HE8MHSO HP ALLbest contest ever made - new station and antennas good propagation and nice and fast qso on 20-40-80-160m no propagation on 15m and 10m see you next year ! (maybe new vertical for low band)
HG5XASA HP ALL40m was by far the most active band due to the low number of sunspots. And as it is a short band, it was a bit (khmmm) overcrowded. But I enjoyed it. I heard a lot of callsigns which were originally VHF only, but after CW is no longer a requirement in many countries, have received full privileges. I am very happy that so many of these guys have taken up HF contesting. It was more fun with them on air!
HI8PJPSO LP 15MA few noise, but lots of fun.
