Comments:
After Tonnoâ??s brutal score of 15M from Montenegro we will wait for UBN
checking to determine who took first place in EU. It was clear that any
reasonable score made in CW will be just a marginal, comparing to his. My goal
was 10M, and it should be something what from this location can be described as
best possible.
Fortunately, Obosnik was given this year with lot of presents:
-Excellent high band propagation
-Excellent 40M and good Low bands
-Summer weather
-And perfect functionality of complete hardwareâ?¦Better hardly can be..
Luckily, all elements were on the highest level. I started on 40M and logged
QSO nr. 1000 at 05:10 GMT with 2,36/QSO, what announce interesting final score.
After 24 hours I logged 4000 QSOs, with good MPL distribution. Adrenalin started
to work and the final score to grow in my wish.
Sunday late afternoon becomes most exciting and interesting. Target file showed
3M better score than last year and was clear that it should be around 12M, that
I have not even dreamed ever.
Not much time for second radio, and 40 MPL on QSY. Lot of interesting MPLs were
â??deafâ?? and did not replay at all when ask to QSY..?
When finished, logical question was â?" if I did 11,6M, what should be CR2X
score? Wondering to see it soon here, to â??celebrateâ?? new EU record, or
â??justâ?? best ever score made from continental EU, which is still good reason
for opening bottle of good red vine.
Year 2011 was fertile. We over cross 8000Qs in SSB and 7500 Qs in CW, with
support given from sun. None from EU over-cross 7000 QSOs margin. As this
scores are far way better than our goals, in 2012 will be interesting to see is
it a maximum, of we could have even better propagation and improve a little bit?
As Tonno said that 20M is doable from Montenegro, I will say that 13M is doable
on CW, and possibly we can make some global surprise next years, to have all
tuned for highest possible score. Or CR2X will show who is the best?
Extraordinary race with CR2X is very interesting, and I am wondering to see
what will my daddy Martti prepare for next year? Surely, he will do the best
and I congratulate to him and others from Arcala. Especially to Toni on his
huge personal effort and hard work on piloting CR2X for 48 hours, showing his
top world class. It was much easier here, as we shared SSB and CW. Having this
hell twice in one month is terribly difficult.
Thank you to all for calling, and looking forward to see you in next one
