Comments:

As I had been flu-ridden for a couple of weeks and therefore could not prepare
for this contest the way I wanted, I knew that this was not going to be a full
bore effort. Just before the contest I managed to repair one of my power
divider boxes so that I was able to use my fixed 20m JA beam for the second
direction. I was just running with one radio because I had not enough time to
prepare my SO2R setup. This really hurt the multiplier and the QSO count. There
seems to be a long list of things to be finished before the CW leg.

The propagation was decent but not great and it was gradually declining as the
contest progressed. There were nice signals on 10m but the openings were
shorter than last year due to the lowish solar flux. We did not have the local
evening openings into USA that we often enjoy on 20m and 15m. The propagation
on the higher bands took a dive after sunset. This also shows in the number of
multipliers. Many multipliers were heard but could not be worked due to the
propagation. The lower bands were not very good even when compared to 2011
which was not so spectacular either. On Sunday evening 40m was almost closed to
Europe.

Last year I was suffering from an inflamed shoulder and that cut down my
operating hours. This time I was able to work 400 more QSOs but I was 75
multipliers shy of the last year's result. Nevertheless I managed to break my
2011 score.
