Comments:
After two days working on the antennas, it was all ready on Friday morning to
discover in the evening an horrid noise on all Beverages. To try a workaround,
another 200m Beverage was laid in the wood across sharp thorn bushes, ending
five minutes before the contest started. Totally shattered made the first QSO 10
minutes after the kick off. Glad the new one was a bit quieter so I decided to
do mostly S&P.
The next morning we found the noise came from a bad coax connection on the
Beverages selection box. Unfortunately the following night was not as good as
the first one.
As always it was hard to break US/US pileups as well as finding a clear spot
inside the Intercontinental segment which many US stns do not respect; Excerpt
from the rules: "6.1. The segment 1.830 to 1.835 should be used for
intercontinental QSOs only"
TX antenna: 30m high inverted L. Beverages: 200m and 240 m long. Radio: Icom
7610 + OM Power amp.
Thanks to all for calling and for their patience on repeats.
Many thanks to my nice hosts Bego#a and Raul for their exquisite hospitality.
