Comments:
Initial idea was to do a M/S but due to a lack of operators I had to change my
strategy. Decided to do a SOSB 15m Assisted.
Rough propagation on Saturday with SFI 116 A19 K2.
Started slowly at 03:35 UTC and ended the 1st day at 21:00 UTC with 867 Q's.
Sunday was the elections to the European Parliament, Chamber of Deputies and
the Flemish Parliament, so I had to leave the station and go to the voting
bureau.
The SFI 118 A6 K2 seemed better than Saturday so I hoped for good propagation
but things did not really went as expected. Less QSO's on day 2, 578 to end
with 1445 at 22:10 UTC. Many repeats and QSB did not improve the rate.
Surprised that my call was copied many times as WP4K.
It looks that I broke by far the Belgian record held since 2002.
Sure was fun and am happy with the result.
Hope to hear / work you all in the next contest.
