Comments:
Started a bit late only to make a few nice qrp qsoâ??s.
Things went so good that I kept on going. Good conditions on 20 and 160, bad on
15 and non existing on 10.
All contacts 20 and up made with a terrific AV620 vertical, a real amazing
antenna. Not such a bad thing for search and pounce after all. Fast, no turning
around.
Sunday afternoon things became serious and it was clear I was missing a lot of
multipliers because of no antenna on 40 and 80. I stopped contesting for a few
hours and I went in the garden to set-up my HF2V again.
After that, score went up nicely although on 40 the going was tough with my 5W
in between these huge short skip signals.
I participated in the ASSISTED category since I used the DX cluster to stay
away from the spotted stations and find some calmer areas in between them. (In
all my naivety I hope everybody log as assisted when using a cluster.)
The game was to work them before they were spotted. After that, I could forget
about it.
All contacts were made on search and pounce. Didnâ??t call CQ a single time.
73,
