First try from a 3point land , a lot of work to do before and after the contest
since it has been a tipical IG9-activity : field-day ! 2 towers , 6 antennas to
be erected and done ( all low bands antennas were wire home made ants ) before
the contest and on Monday evening all was packed and ready to be shipped back !!
Untill Saturday at 2230z all was going right but moving a mults from 40 to 160
the second radio crushed ..... something has happened .... i went out and looked
the tower .... a wire element of the 40m 2el crushed over the 160m slooper with
the results that you can imagine . i tried to separate the 2 wires from the
ground level but nothing so i had climb the tower after 23 hours of setting
behind a radio and with darkness for tring to separate the 2 wires . After 30min
i was back from the tower , done the job , but i lost more or less 90 mins and
...... the second radio ! I had also some problems with the packet cluster but
..... that's murphy . Cndx has been not as good as espected mainly on the high
bands , 10/15/20 closed both days quiete at the same time :early . The big
surprise come from 160 , i spent there just few hours on sunday evening ( the
problem on the first night caused even high SWR on the 160m ant ) but this time
produced a lots of mults ( the first station who replied to my cq has been 9L1AB
... tnx Andy ) .
