Being back to Single-OP after 3 years of DM1A WAE Multi-Single contesting
was an interesting experience. One of the differences is Off-Times!
I had hoped for an opportunity to take a break on early Sunday morning but
the low bands kept producing good multipliers. Sorry to the DX stations
who tried to give away their QTCs to just another tired guy with lousy
concentration. Next year we´ll plan for some rest on Friday!
A little local competition with DJ5MW helped to stay excited during the slow
hours. We were tracking each other and regularly exchanging numbers. At
the end things look pretty close which is quite respectable for Manfred´s
single tower station (partially dismantled in summer time) - well done!
Never expected 10m to open to North America but it happens every year. When
I returned to the radio on Sunday afternoon the best part of the opening
was over. Luckily a few signals remained right above the noise - good enough
to work 10 districts.
Thanks to all DX stations who turned in some operating time and patiently
managed the QTC traffic!
There were lots of 5-banders this year!
73,
Stefan
