Comments:
I decided very late during the week to enter the contest, having not recovered
from Dayton contesters' nights and jet lag ! Nothing worked as planned on
Friday and so I arrived late at the station, had to set up the SO2R station and
do the usual (and additional unpredicted) antenna work. I also had to cut part
of the high grass under the antennas on saturday morning.
The 5 el monobander on 15m is still stuck fixed to the US and I used a recently
installed 3 el SteppIR at 12m for the other directions.
Tiredness selected the best operating time for me, certainly not the best ones
!
For sure I missed the now famous 15 and 10 m openings with USA.
Fortunately, the thunderstorms forecast for all of the week end lasted only a
couple of 10 minutes, with less than 10 mn of very noisy bands.
All in all, a pleasant contest that could have been better with a fresher
operator but not as bad as expected !
