Comments:

Same team as last year, with reinforcement from Italy and Slovenia did Multi
Multi from Montenegro again.

This year we have some hardware improvements as new 2L80 yagi on 50m high tower
and high power band pass filters, which dispel interfering between bands.

Conditions were much better on low bands. We started on 80M with very good
runs, as expected, but 40M was very poor for us first night. Only 5 elements
wire beam was available. Saturday afternoon was painful with antenna on west,
but we worked some JAs, even on our CQ. 

Sunday morning was amazing. Sunny and hot, without any wind at all. It was
perfect weekend for antenna and tower work. Some of us used it to lift up 3L40
full-size yagi. S55O and S57MM assembled antenna and prepared monster for take
of. First try we had at Sunday evening, under the reflectors lights, but around
22 local time I decided to left it for morning. 
We started early, around 7 and day was wonderful. After 4 hours we finalized
action. Antenna finished on height of 32m on western tower and was ready for
use around 17 GMT. We all were very excited to watch first SWR checking and to
have confirmation that all we did very hard was correct. Yeeesss – SWR was as
it has to be and we are in battle with new big antenna!  It gives us many new
MULTs from east and good feeling at the end of contest.

We will be RTTY again in WPX, with same team. Many are very thankful to all who
called us.

Log will be on LoTW soon.

Ranko – 4O3A
