I was able to be on air for the first and last days but had limited time for each day.This is the 8th year I've participated and as always it was fun chasing the stations around the bands. The first day I contacted two stations and managed 6 more on the last day. I imagine I missed some good propagation days but as always the fourth of July week is very busy for Me.Conditions seemed fair but when I was able to be active,the higher bands were not open to Northern Minnesota.A typical occurance! I did not manage to contact any of the bonus stations but at least on 20m I was able to hear the GB13COL station from England although He was extremely light and the Eastern wall of operators prevented Me having a QSO opportunity.
This special event is always fun and well run and I will donate and send for the certificate.Would be nice having a clean sweep but need to spend more time-maybe next year!
