Comments:
I did not expect so much fun in Low Power category.
My regular SO2R setup contains one high-power radio and one 100 W radio, so
this year I decided to give it a try on SO-LP category. It worked pretty well
and I am happy with the result, despite some minor/moderate problems. First
half of the contest I did not take it too seriously, so I made some mistakes:
instead of taking rest, I continued to operate with very low hourly rates (4-20
QSO/hr), then I did not care about cumulative operating time, so Sunday
afternoon I exceeded the maximum allowed of 30 hrs, then I lost 4 or 5
multipliers due to a malfunction in N1MM+ synchronization process etc.
I managed some good runs, especially with EU stations, thanks to RBN cluster,
who spotted me quite well.
Thanks everybody for calling and for replies and see you in coming contests.
