Unfortunately, only a few SSB stations were on the air, and conditions were poor.
DL2OM
Just one Es-opening on Saturday lasting about 2 h towards the Iberian peninsula
the next day only a few stations via MS and tropo. Unfortunately this contest is
still not very much kwown within the European 6-m-community and often met with
apathy. Thus many potentially possible tropo contacts were not going to happen.

Dire conditions throughout contest a few E's Saturday but they soon died off, Sunday nothing happened, not even the usual Sunday morning G's in the log. This probably one of the worst condition contest for a long time. UKSMG really need to push this conte
