Conditions weren't that great for DX but there was a reasonable amount of VK /ZL activity.
Once again there weren't a lot of YL's on air and I wonder if this is because they think contests are difficult and maybe
just need to gain confidence to get on and have a go.
Perhaps asking a local club to assist with learning computer logging or getting involved with a field day will give the YL's some extra skills to make this contest great again.
The ALARA Contest isn't one where you need to operate at breakneck speed, but is one where newer operators can get involved comfortably.
