comments:

Originally I was going run singleOP from OH7M but I was too busy/lazy to
drove down to station on Friday evening so.. instead of that I
worked some stations  at saturday/sunday from my home QTH with very modest
antenna. Sunday I could not stay  at home anymore and had to
take my radio and drove  to a local club (OH7AA) which we have quite good
antenna setup. I started on 15 but rate was quite slow there due to aurora
and decided to go 
20 meters. Ocassionally I had pretty good rate but jammers did they best and
I was not  be able to get pileup going so well. Little bit S&P in 20 and 15
and that's it.
West coast was really booming in time to time on 20 and 15,  N7ML  had a
huge signal on 20 meters. Anyways had some good time (3 hours or so),
hopefully I can do the whole contest in next year.

Coming CQ WPX SSB we are going to take a part in M/S-category at OH7M so cu
there!
