Comments:
I was planning to do SOAB-MIX, therefore the posting on both online servers
(cqcontest.net & contestonlinescore.com) was in the SO ALL MIXED section. My
apologies if this made some of the competition change tactics or otherwise
caused confusion. I think posting in the wrong section is still better compared
to not posting the score online at all or only posting it after the contest ;-)
I had some technical troubles in the beginning with the second radio which
turned out to be operator ignorance once again. It was quite a challenge for my
brain trying to copy serial numbers on two radios and at the same time chatting
on WhatsApp with ES5TV for technical advice. Once the issues were sorted out the
station worked almost flawlessly – thanks, ES5TV!
The CW rates were nice in the beginning and I kept postponing the move to SSB.
During the night on low bands I thought about doing SSB once again and even on
Sunday morning it crossed my mind but CW felt so much more appealing so I
decided to stay with it.
The QSO and multiplier count is more or less OK but the average QSO-point is
rather low as I ran out of 10-pointers to work. The oblast count on 20 is poor
as always because it is hard to work the ones that are close by. 15 meters seems
to have opened better in the southern part of Europe but to my great surprise I
even managed to work one station from USA. No JA on 15 meters. 10 meters
marginal opening at the end was a nice bonus.
Thanks to all for the QSO’s and see you in the next (CW) contests, hopefully
also in this one in a few weeks: https://www.erau.ee/en/es-open-contests !
