Not quite nice WX condition for 160m test
Wet and rainy allmost whole weakend!
Since all snow and ice melted just before contest
all fields around where very swampy.
All this was probably not quite good for our RX capabilities.
I noticed that our RX antennas performing much better if ground is frozen
or we have snow or ice on the ground.
But lets not froget QRM, our freq was most of the time not realy clean.
It was very frustating having every 15 min somebody cqing just 100Hz beside or
less (sometimes also in zerobeat). Maybe we need get back to our old FT-1000MP
and undo key click modification ;)
Also band condtion where here very strange, not bad but not realy good,
we had much better openings to JA´s and NA in past few weaks!
Anyway we just reach our traget; 2000 Qs and more as 1,6 mil points,
DXCC and States/province are below we expected but we are happy, even
its look like that this score will be not enough for EU TOP TEN in MO
category!
My opinion is that station from central and north EU had much better condx as
we had!
Over 300 NA stations, over 150 ASIA stations in log!
70 JA´s where worked first night, but only 2 of them second...
no ZL, no VK, no KL7, no KH6, no XW, no XU, no EL, no VU, no HL, no BY.....
all of them we worked (some of them few times) in weak before contest.
Even caribian was not loud enough, Herb KV4FZ is usualy very strong, but not
this time. Heard CE1/K7CA (weaker as usual) but not possible to work him....
During sonday i noticed some kind of problems with our 4 SQ,
time to time we did produced more RFI on other HF Bands and getting it also in
CW keying of one FT2K/PC, like some bad contact or simular, but i didn´t find
anything .....
Thanks for QSOs and CU in one of next Contests!
