Condx slightly above normal. Good activity from SM0/5. Hrd also ES5PC and
ES2DF.

Tested my new 10 GHz equipment after the contest for the first time. I was
using a DB6NT XVTR with 15 cm horn antenna, only 2 m above ground. Hrd
LA9SHF 559 and, most surprisingly, OZ1UHF 599++. Tried QSO with SK7MW and
OZ5DI but NIL. Perhaps some trees were blocking? It would have been too good
to run the first QSO on that band over 500 km  :-)
