IC735 barefoot, tribander 10/15/20 at 12m, triband trap dipole 30/40/80 at 17m
and InvL/RX-loop on 160m. 


Nice condx and activity. Managed to completly fill-up the bandmap several times
on all bands except 160 and 10m. Condx very hard for me on low-bands due to
local electric line and bad weather, and on 10m due to intruders QRM and strong
echo affecting weak signal BS.
Did not spend enough time on 40, but band closed earlier than expected, and I
did not wake up early enough to take advantage of the good early morning condx
(when the rain had finaly stopped for a while). The RX-loop saved my 160 (9++
white noise on the L with the rain/fog on the 380kV local line). As expected the
Skip remained too long for most stations on 10 and 15 and BS is a difficult
sport with LP and low tribander... 
Was my first participation and really enjoyed it, but you really have to like
S&P; if you are not OD5/OK1MU, no chance to get a decent rate when CQing ;-) 

73's and see you next year! Pat
