Despite announced high winds (5 Bft) in Belgium, we heavily relied on the
glassfiber and 3 level guying to make it through the complete contest.
-day 1:
the band was clearly upset by the Sun and Qs were hard and no joy with this low
power.
The farm (W0AIH did not get further than ON7, then disappeared)
ODX was N0NI (IA).
-day 2:
the Sunday sunrise was good with ODX: TX, MS, LA.
Furthest station heard: N2IC (NM)
The operation was nearly exclusive S&P, maybe 10 stations came back to
occasional CQs.
It was not amusing to see huge NA pile-ups on the so many active DXCC on middle
American islands and SA, most often with excellent signals.
Thanks to all for the QSO!
Recordings are available for those interested.
Any noticeable QSB is the combination of propagation and the vertical swaying
in the wind…
