Comments:
Wow it was a total blast.
I could never imagine a result like this, bu I realize that it could happen on
Saturday morning when more than 1k qso were already in the log.
I have not used the station for many mmonths in SO2R configuration and for this
reason some problem show up both before and during the contest. First my 2nd
radio just broke few hours before the contest, so I have to go to our local
club (IQ1RY) to take a spare one. Then, during the contest a lazy broken cable
force me to take an one hour break to fix the problem. And I was also impacted
from DXlog problem when CQContest went down forcing to take another hour break
in the prime-time 20m-40m US run. At the end condition were so good that I think
I have lost no multiplier or QSOs but for sure I left many QSO points behind due
to the problems.
Also found out new interfernce between 80m 40m and 20m, which made operate SO2R
very challenging and no dual CQ was possible on that band. I made just some
between 10m and 15m when open. Thus next weekend I will recheck all connection
and see if i can ind the source of this new interference.
Highligth was to be called by KL7SB on Sunday afternoon on 15m with zero
sunspot, while I maneged to work few other weast coast staion on 15m as well.
Overall condition to DX were not so good and this has been almomst a EU-EU
contest, except for nigth-long 20m opening to both US and JA.
Anyway despite all, I'm more than satisfy with the result, this contest will be
remember for a long time. I never thought that break the 4k QSO threshold was
possibile from Nord-Italy.
Thanks for the calls,
See you during IARU HF!
