We broke the 10 million points barrier in M/S this year three minutes before the end of the contest. The station performed well for us this year with the exception of our newly deployed 160m dipole which got cought on a guy wire half way through the first night due to strong winds, resulting in no runs around sunrise.

Conditions to the far east were good over the weekend with a few making it into the log on 40, 20 and also 15m. Saw some DX cluster spots for 10m but nothing heard or worked. It was disppointing to experience difficult transatlantic conditions on 40m the second night; for some reason, we also couldn’t get very good runs going on 40m.

We spent some of Friday erecting a new 30m high mast which we used to support the aforementioned 160m inverted-V, though 160m was generally unproductive — in hindsight, we could have put the 80m dipole in its place but Paul also fixed the Titanex vertical for use on 80m which worked quite well.

Station development is still ongoing with our 80m 4-square project taking shape.. Watch this space!

Thanks to all who called.
