Comments:

Things done this weekend:
*) Meeting with HL delegation
*) Meeting with SP delegation (W0DKA & BBQ included)
*) Rat hunting inside of the shack using air pressure rifle (successful)
*) Attempt to repair air conditioner (failed)
*) A little bit of ham radio

Due to all this I did not manage to work best time frames I planned to work. In
addition broken air conditioner made shack’s inside temperature approx 40
degrees Celsius constantly.  Something was wrong with COAX so initially SWR was
everywhere between 1 and 10. Afterwards I replaced it with new one and
surprisingly stations started to answer much better :)

No luck when S&P because of callsign. Every second station was copying me with
incorrect prefix and refused to copy correct one even if dropped down speed to
20 wpm or so. Next year will go to 5A to take a part in some contest. I think
that callsign like 5A7A will produce even more fun/errors than HN0Z.

Too few NA& SA mults. It was almost impossible to break through  EU wall. 

RIG: TS-570
10/15/20 m – 2 el Delta Loop
40m – 2 el Delta loop fixed EU/NA
