Comments:
Had a pretty tough week prior to the contest, anyhow, got to the contest QTH
early on friday afternoon, got everything set up and got a few hours of well
needed sleep.
Then at 1 am local started the contest, all signals having a bad polar flutter
on them, very slowgoing start. After an hour or so the phase increased. About 3
hours into the contest the band totally died, no signals at all.
Stayed as this until next morning, at 11 am local the big-gun stations started
to come through again, but it took several more hours before the band started to
get in shape again, only to die late evening.
Don´t know why, if we Scandinavians were punished by the aurora gods or if this
fenomena struck all 20m guys.
Equipment used was a FT1000MP mk V + 1KW and a 6 element quad.
