Hello contesters, Yesterdays contest was realy bad here in SM3. Aurora most of the evening on 144, a few were also comming through on 432, but they were also possible to work on ordinary tropo. For long periods of time the band was completely emty, I belive this was when the aurora was high above. However a few glints of hope, worked OZ1IEP with fine signals, and thereafter I heard OZ9KY (727 km) for a few minutes, no QSO, don't know if he heard me.
