Comments:

Auroral activity due to coronal hole. made us to move from 80 to 40 m. I figured
that 40 m would not suffer as much as daytime D-layer attenuation is away during
these times. From 60N,25E the grayline is only 600 km away. It was great to log
nearly 350 JAs during OH a.m. / JA early evening. W's were difficult as the
auroral oval blocked the SP. The 250 W/VEs we worked mostly over LP. First
night spend S&P and that payed of since the stations in zones 7, 8, 9 and 10 we
strongest then. I slept 8 hours in the 2nd night.

Martti has a new 2/2 el (140 ft / 70 ft), which performed well. I could also
use a 3-el in another tower! That antenna was better in RX (FB-ratio). On
sunday 12Z I had the other beams SP and LP to NA. Greyline carried signals both
ways.  

Our target was the OH-record at 757k made at OH2U with pretty much similar
antenna setup (3/3 el + 3-el) in 2004. UBN will bring my score below 757 so
next year we'll be trying again.

Missed zones 1, 2, 6 and 34. Hrd MZ5B but could find my way into his logbook.

Great event. Thanks to the host Martti and Toni OH2UA for the necessary help in
getting the station on the air. Configuring of Win-test + MK2R put my IT-skills
in a real test. You need an IT-degree to get on the air these days....
