VK2TTL SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH Most enjoyable, thanks to everyone.
VK2JA SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH I incorrectly advised location of CU2 when portable, I was actually in PC2 so not eligible for rover category.
VK3STV SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH Corrected Log
ZL3VZ SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH Despite the high solar flux, conditions appeared to be fairly poor with weak signals. There did not appear to be as many active as previously noted. However, an enjoyable contest for all that even though the Shires Award seems to have fallen by the wayside. Many thanks. I elect Blocks 2 and 3 for my entry.

VK2YW SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH Good fun. I wish to be entered in the Rover Section. Unfortunately VKCL won't allow for a Rover so I have edited the Cabrillo Log. On the Sat morning I left Wagga at 0630 to drive to Broken Hill. Contest commenced atr 10am when I was in Hay Shire. I then passed through Balranald, Murray River, Wentworth, Unicorporated Area, then Broken Hill shires. On Sunday I headed off north on Silver City Hwy and then the Unincorporated Area again. My destination was Milparinka. Enjoyed greatly and managed to keep the written log beloiw.

VK2XIC SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH Introduction of the four hour block system makes it worth while having a go and makes the contest much more fun! Thanks for the change.
VJ2U SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH Lots of fun after being QRT for the best part of 30 years.
VK7C SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH Good location at Lake Bringalbert in West Wimmera, very quiet. Disappointing that there were much less participants this year. It was hard to make DX Contacts, with having to get them to understand to give out a CQ Zone.
