I would be interested in knowing the rules too, for next year really as it is a bit late now. I see the league table in another thread, but not the rules.

Alan, I am a diehard CW op with some SSB, FT8 really is not a mode I use, my tally of contacts on ft8 is ZERO !!

Da na, da na na na, dun un, dun un, dun un un un, pew. (Countdown clock )
Still me on 'Nil Point', the most famous score of the UK's Eurovision entries.
Honestly, despite me not having a working HF rig it's been great watching everyone's 10m contacts flowing through.
Well done to all concerned!!

Many thanks to Craig for his efforts, and thanks to all the rest for the friendly competition.
I’ve especially enjoyed trying to compete with the beam antennas, My 55 watts and the T2LT have exceeded my expectations.
Hopefully still be around to try to improve on my total next year.

The trick with 10 or 11m is to monitor the bands constantly, not a realistic situation for most of us. I either leave my SDR receiver and pc running WSPR or I run CwSkimmer 24/7. There is not a day when I do not see some Beacon activity on 10m, I see GW7HDS ZB2TEN DB0UM or DL0IGI daily, problem is I am not sat in front of the radio to capitolise on the conditions. I think this applies to all of us, the exception would be a weekend during a contest when there are always people listening. Then again if the band was open 24 hours a day it you not have the same thrill to fire up the rig to find the band open. Just my opinion.
