Q´s       Z          DXCC       Pts.

1965     35         105        477.820

 

 

The Aurora, dancing across the sky, in beautiful green and violet colours,
is something

else to see. Unfortunately however, it wrecks havoc to propagation, contest
or not.

The Aurora factor soared to a 9 (out of 10) for most of the CQ WW SSB
weekend.

Such is life at 67°north.

 

As a result, conditions were very spotty up here, on 20 meters. No real runs
to speak of,

just short bursts of Q´s. The great Rhombic antennas, and the rest of the
fine station

 at TF4M, saved what could be saved in this contest.  Thor has built a super
station in 

west TF land, and it is yet to shine, given good propagation. 

 

However, it was great fun as always. CU in the CW part : The CQ WW rules !

 

Siggi TF3CW.
