Worked him again in the same burst after I had turned my antenna around. *3 After the sked I realised the wind had turned my antenna off by 30 degrees. Hrd random: I4XCC, IK0BZY, 9A4FW, OH8UV, HA1BC, OK2MWR, SP4MPB, F4ARU, DG9NCX, GM4YXI, TK5EP, IV3BBR The Leonids did not quite live up to my expectations this year. The maximum occured exactly as predicted, but was much shorter than last year. There where lots of long reflections, albeit with much fading and usually not so strong. Had difficulties copying the other stations at times. Worked 35 complete contacts, with I8TWK being the ODX. Again I had no success with my few skeds, although the scheduling was mostly OK. Went QRT at 0700 UTC. I was surprised to hear so few reflections from stations at shorter distances. Not a single PA or ON came through, and only few DL. This was also commented on by others.
