Comments:
Another contest affected by the sun activity minimum...
Quite good conditions on low bands, I enjoyed of nice pileups from time to
time. High bands were only about 20m and 15m. I thought, that at least big guns
will push their signals over the ocean, but now it's clear, that 10m was
completely shut down. The conditions on 20m and 15m varied between bad and good
from hour to hour. I went to have a short nap on Saturday evening after closing
of 20m. But other comments are evidence, that band was alive longer. On Sunday
evening I decided to run on 15m and 20m till the 40m opening. And I spent there
few closing and reopening of the bands with fine pileups with rate peaks from 20
to 240 Q/h...
I have to say, that big advantage of this contest are good traffic quality
together with well organised operators. It's relax before contests of EU
ZOO...
I hope, that new 4-bander + RX antena will be in the air soon...
Thanks to all participants.
