Comments:
When is that next CW contest again? I do enjoy SSB, but for a silent Finn like
me all the fast talking just produces a headache ;) Nice to hear so many
Scandinavians on the air, and hopefully Finland will take the Cup this year.
The CW leg headphone catastrophy was happily behind, although I still had some
RFI problems due to the noise-cancelling electronics, especially when working
on 15m. Close-by man-made noise up to S6-S7 on 10m and 15m made life more
difficult on Sunday, hopefully the source will be found at some point.
Band conditions were rather interesting. 15m was in pretty nice shape towards
JA and W, and I quite enjoyed it. 40m, on the other hand, never seemed to
produce a "normal opening" towards W. In fact most of the night on 40 was
marked by heavy QRN, and DX consisted of working W6/W7 stations. On 80m I
parked below 3775 kHz apart from an early 15-minute stint, as following the
IARU band plan is now stated as being compulsory in the contest rules. Probably
lost some multipliers by not being in that more silent "forbidden zone."
Thanks to Jukka OH6LI and Merja again for letting me use their summer cottage
and the station over the weekend. And thanks to all you non-Scandinavians for
taking part and making this so fun for us Scandinavians!
