My hearty congratulations, Paul! That’s quite the award!
Hi Mike,
I found conditions really tough compared to previous years. The bands just aren’t in the same shape at the moment as they were when I first got my licence about 7 years ago. Here’s hoping conditions now start to improve.

Hi Paul
Congratulations on your results, especially with current band conditions. You are a very skilled operator.
Cheers

Hi John,
Yes conditions were pretty average. Unfortunately I don’t have a great DX antenna for 40m, and 100 watts just doesn’t really cut it for DX on that band either. I need to upgrade!

Congratulations Paul . . . that’s a big achievement.
Hi Peter,
Very difficult band conditions compared to previous years.
