Conditions were up and down, at least I thought so. 40 seemed very noisy, I had stations calling that were in the noise. Not as good as 2024 but 2024 conditions were a once in a 100 year event.

Comments:
Operation from the Florida condo superstation, an 80M OCF up 50 feet or so in
the trees along the condo property line.
 
Very good conditions Friday evening on 80M. Lots of five band QSOs, and ZF5T,
who can hear my puny signal on 160 (RF force fed into the 80M OCF) was a six
bander.
 
Nearly all S&P the first day, and mostly running on Sunday.
