Dreadful during the week but raising the standards a bit at the weekend. Nothing really jumps out at me as being DX or exceedingly popular.
Maybe OR0YAL a special event club call to commemorate the 18th anniversary of HRH Princess Elisabeth of Belgium. But the rest was ordinary contacts, better than nothing. Again I was on other bands working C5YK (Gambia), 4U1A (UN Austria), GJ0, OD5. Not a single contact on 10m.
