The CONTEST:
Bad time management - too much prpearings at last days-
slept only 2 hours before the contest, had to make
extra breakes for the rest. Spent half of an hour in the very
begining of the contest to correct fault in the beverages swiching
box made at the last moment before sleeping. Further contest fortunately
without technical problems.
Good activity on low bands, my best achievement ever on these bands,
last antenna improvements helped as well. Low sunspot number and our
frequently
visiting "NORTHEN FRIEND AURORA" made high bands to a challenge.
Thanks to everybody for QSOs, see all in future contests!
