Comments:
Unfortunately, it was not possible for the usual team member to be gathered all
together to take part to the ARRL SSB in multiop this year. This is the reason
I decided to try a SOAB effort.
A fantastic week end, in spite of the propagation which was not as good as last
year. Only 6 QSO on 10m on Saturday with Florida. Sunday was really better, with
a first short opening which was sometimes giving the impression to operate
meteor scatter on VHF followed by a good second one.
For some reasons, it was not possible to build the station before Friday in the
morning with the result that I started the contest with a lack of rest. Add that
it is 35°C with 95% of humidity in the shack (no airconditioning), the last
part of the nights were quite hard and I didn't resist to stop and sleep a bit.
Also some trafic breaks to fix various problems like a damaged mosquito screen
to be replaced or a power supply delivering a low voltage which resulted in a
TS850 failure... SOAB non assisted, really!

Thanks everybody for the QSOs and see you in the CQWW!
