Disappointing conditions on most bands - our score 2M points down on last year, mainly because of poor 10m propagation. 40m was quite good which compensated a bit. We lost AC power to the site (ZL6QH) for about 4 hours of the last 12 hrs, but it made little difference because the bands were so quiet - we managed to keep 1 of the 4 stations running on generator power!

Highlights - Being called by FT5XO on 20m, some good pile-ups
Lowlights - 10m dud, 10m European yagi faulty

Please QSL ZL1V via N3SL. ZL1V logs are on Logbook of the World. Thanks to everyone who worked ZL1V. Thanks to the ZL6QH group for the use of the station. Visit www.qsl.net/zl1v/zl6qh.htm for some recent photos of ZL6QH, ZL1V, ZM2K.
