Comments:
Friday afternoon, a few hours before the contest started, we noticed a
failue on the lower yagi of the 20m 6/6 stack, who showed high SWR. So we
did the whole contest using only the higher one, which is ok for low-angles,
less with higher.
Other minor issues occurred during the contest, but they were all promptly
fixed.
Propagation conditions were pretty different between the two days: on first
day lower bands were in good shape, while higher were so and so (with 10m
disappointing). On the opposite, the second night low-bands were poor while
Sunday afternoon conditions improved with a terrific and long 10m opening.
Unfortunately an hour of rain with S7 QRN ruined our run during the
peak-time...
A nice mini-challenge with our friends at IR1Y in cqcontest.ru made the
competition more exciting. Thank you guys!
We had lots of fun, with a good company. Furthermore, being
our best score in this contest, and the first time we broke the 4000 Qso's
wall, we are also satisfied with the result. (dedicated to a friend:
Angelo-CB1)
See u next.
