Comments:
Very mixed feelings. Much better overall condx than in the SSB part. I missed
first 25 minutes (overslept) but otherwise great first day with nearly 2000 qsos
into 36 zones logged. Had a short but scary electricity cut at around noon on
Saturday, but gladly the system and station set up recovered quickly and I
missed only a few minutes of the fun.
After a "very much obligatory" pause during the quiet early morning
hours I was ready for more good runs on Sunday. But Sunday was not like Saturday
(nor vice versa). It almost never seems to be these years. Got decent runs for a
few hours but much less DX than on Saturday. During the Sunday afternoon prime
time NA opening the propagation gods decided to hit me. Between 14z-17z I logged
totally less than 30 qsos. Some blackout. There went my high hopes (if any
left). Fortunately the band still opened up a little for a while, but...
Due to the great first day I finally ended up with almost exactly the same raw
score than last year. (I beat it by 13000+ points.) In the end I am very glad
for the result. And CW is soooo FUN! :)
BIG TNX to Veijo OH6KN for all the support. The OH8X station technology worked
perfectly once again.
Cu in the pile-ups!
