Comments:

This was my 2nd. IOTA contest, and last year I made 90 QSO's, so my first goal was to beat that, hi hi. Well, I really hoped to make 1000 QSO's as I never have done that before in a contest, and this time I did it! The activity was excellent, and I think this is one of the most popular contests in Europe after CQWW DX. The secret in this contest seems to be working as many JA's and G's as possible since they are all 15 pointers!. Just a shame that the condx. to JA not was that good on Sunday, but the activity from UK was excellent.

Thanks for all the QSO's and see you in the next contest's.
