Well what a week! C5C (Gambia) very prominent during the week except for Wednesday when 3D2RRR (Rotuma) got in front. For the PX contest LW1F and LT6M (Both Argentina) were bossing it.
I called C5C several times but they were taking so long to work stations even using several streams it was difficult to see what their methodology was.
I did work quite a few AMs and IIs for certificates but also V55AF and V51WW both(Namibia)
Ignacio,TI3IES , tells me, “This week I don't have any QSO's, it's the rainy season in Costa Rica so my antenna is down, I avoid a surprise with the lightning.”
A wise move, we also had a couple of lightening sessions which had me disconnecting everything. But not for long.
