As Tonno ES5TV went to Montenegro to paricipate from 4O3A, I as able to use his
"big guns". First of all great contest and amazing experience. Opening day I
had some problems with 80m filter and I was only able to work for a while. Had
some sparkles coming from the filter and the amplifier just didn't work.
Reflected all the power. At the 40th hour I came up with an idea to pass the
filter and then trying to use 80m again. Ofcourse I had to switch off the 2nd
radio, not to burn it. But the train was gone. Extremly bad conditions on 2nd
day. Wkd only 71 mults which was even less than on 160m. For me, it usually
never happens that all the exotic Caribbean stations are coming for my CQ. At
home I always have to search them. Anyway 24 hours passed, so far so good. But
then I started to feel bad. Once I got home (which I pretty much don't
remember, my dad removed me from the controls few hours before the end, because
I wasn't making any sense. Probably I just stared at the transceivers) I took my
temperature and it was 38,4c/101F. So this is why I felt wierd :). But I had
this excitement and I kept pushing myself as hard as I could. I'm not sure that
gambling is the correct word, but when the pile-up went heavier, I ofcourse
wanted to make faster QSOs, so I forgot to use my parrot to say "5915" and
"tu". At 30th hour I totally lost my voice. I sounded like bear who was
whispering his roar. To sum up. I'm glad that Tonno let me use his station and
I owe him one. HI! Great experience and we'll see what the future brings. 73!
