Weak Aurora and poor tropo is no good combination. Strong gusting often
turned my antenna out of direction. Started late (and missed best part of
Aurora) and stopped 30 min earlier because the two yagi were beaming 90
degrees apart. Heard also SM3VAC, SK2AT, SK3MF and DK5JM, otherwise it was
very quiet...
