Comments:
First night was quite o.k. Our goal was to beat last years result of 525k
points, which was our benchwark for a single element station. A new beverage in
direction US did help even though it was only 140m long. Main antenna was an
inverted L build with a 18m fiber glass pole from Spiderbeam. Second help to
boost the score was the RX of Elecrafts K3. Equipped with a 250Hz Roofing
Filter we found even free slots on a band which is well known as crowded with
lots of QRM/QRN before.
The second night did lack of conditions, US nearly impossible, carribean
stations could be heard but not worked. Between 0 UT and 3 UT even the rate
went down and we thaught about giving it up and take nap. Later on the
conditions came back and even some W6/7 made it into the log. The last night
was unspectacular and slow as usual.
Over all it made fun and the result is 25% up. Mission accomplished.
73 to all who called and worked us
