Comments:
First I want to thank my dad CT1CJJ for all his work done to the station,
especially for all the antenna repairs done all by himself.
I have been working in France for the last 2 years and also at the same time
thinking about the upgrades to be done to the CR6K station.
New filtering system developed by ham-filtering.com (f4ajs) and myself worked
flawlessly! Not a single interaction between the 2 towers @ 13m from each
other with tribanders. No more 10/20m interference when SO2R.
The contest didn't start very well not due to Murphy but due to Ryanair, 1h30m
delay in St Etiene. I was suposed to arrive by 19h utc at the station and
arrived around 21h45 with only 2h15 to put the station together with the new
hardware and also eat with familly :)
Dad and I started to put the station together and it took us about about 2h to
do so. I started the contest seriously at 01:26UTC (about 300 to 400qsos lost).
The beverage system was put together by my father during the night, outside at
the cold and he finished around 05utc, endless thank you for all his effort.
Conditions were good the first day but 10/15m closed very very early compared
to previous years (by 19:45UTC I was already on 20/40m), second day was very
hard to start with USA, no idea why, conditions seemed good but the best rates
only started around 16UTC...
Anyhow, thank you all for the contacts and cu agn soon with some more
improvements to the station.
