[Comment] SSB signals were very week , so , I operated only in the CW Mode .
This time , there were so many signals beyond my skill , apologize my poor operation .
My operation in 17 meters (18.075MHZ) on the final day (1/Feb/2015) , I forgot to send my callsign for a long time . I was frantically operating to the stations , and was trying to pick up as many station as I could . But there were so many signals , and signals were allways as if 4 flutes were singing continuously . It was beyond my skill and I was tired . Sometimes , I could not decode CW signals to the language words easily .
Apologize my poor poor operation .
I will take care after this operation to anounce my callsign as many times as possiple , and try to search a good way not to use wide friquency area even in these case .
I stayed at the Chatham Hotel situated north (west) shore of the island .
There is a good port here for fishing .
Chatham is a windy island . And sometimes fog staying in the sky . At this time ,our fright could not start from Aukland . Next morning , we could !
Condition was good for CW , especially to EU .
I was so surprized to have such many calls . Thank you very much !
