Contesting without internet, hard to get used to that again.
Strong signals and interesting DX in the FOC contest.
Do FOC members ever work low power?
I became much depending on the ease of having the cluster spots and all other support of internet.
The band map is empty you have to search your self.

10m was good open to W and Caribbean. But not much BSCI activity on 10m.
Reasonable propagation good strong W's on 80M
FOC contest is a bit a strange thing.
Excellent operators excellent signals mostly Anglo Saxon HAM's
It is a bit out of line with the HAM idea. An exclusive elite group using the HAM bands for a member only contest.
But it is good to hear that good operators are still plenty.

Preparing a beam for 15/10 a 4 ele light construction.
but in this type of weather I will be on dipoles only in our PACC contest next weekend.
I hope to be reconnected to the internet by then.
Another useless visit of an technician and a couple more phone calls I was promised ( again) that on Monday 08:00 P.M. I will be reconnected. I do not have to take action just sit and count.
The 2nd weekend cut off from telephone land-line and ADSL.

LOTW upload is quick again.
Uploaded the BSCI QSO's just an hour ago and I see that LOTW is already showing the contacts quick! something has been improved there.
