Comments:
My first WAE in about 11 years I think. Conditions on Saturday were quite good,
then there was a clear drop on Sunday morning and early afternoon, whereas
Sunday evening was a bit better.
However, I was surprised how quickly one just runs out of stations to work in
this contest! Especially on Sunday it was frustrating to hear a lot of (worked)
DX signals of 599+10/20 dB when the harvest from calling CQ was very meager.
Managed to squeeze 3 "ESP" QSOs to W-land on 10m.
Receiving QTCs was good CW practice. Especially when some rev up the speed to
~40 WPM when sending them :)
Also experimented with a live audio+video feed through cqcontest.ru as a
concept test for the Scandinavian Activity Contest (CW on 15-16 Sep, SSB on
13-14 Oct). The constraints of the small shack were such that I ended up
attaching the webcam to the lamp in the ceiling when doing my quick-and-dirty
installation. Spectators were treated to "moving fingers" instead of the usual
documentary "talking heads"....
Many thanks to Martti OH2BH and Leena OH2BE for their hospitality and to all
for the QSOs!
