Comments:

This was a guest operation to Jim Sullivan's (W7EJ, CN2R) famous
World-class
contest station located in the outskirts of Casablanca, Morocco. Jim
himself
chose to operate 160 M Single band. Thus, the other bands remained for
another
single-band effort. I chose to operate SOSB 20 meters. 

RIG: Yaesu FT1000MP Mark V + ACOM 2000 amp.
ANT: Three monoband yagis for 20 m: 
4-el at 15m fixed to EU, 
5-el rotary at 26m, 
4-el rotary at 27m.

With 3 independent yagis, it was comfortable to simultaneously cover the
two
main QSO-sources, Europe and North America. Depending on the
propagation, the
third yagi was pointed to Africa, Asia, South America, or Pacific,
greatly
facilitating picking up multipliers, both from my own pileup and by
search-and-pounch.

In some respects, this was an exceptional operation:
1. Not a single vistit by Murphy on 20M (however, Murphy bothered Jim on
160M)
2. The QSO count was the same on the 1st and 2nd day, which is very
unusual
(usually the 1st day is much busier). This may be due to better
propagation on
the 2nd day. Or, alternatively, the operator, having been QRT for the
whole
year, got slicker on Sunday. 

A disappointment was the poor propagation with the band closing early in
the
evening and opening late in the morning. In particular, access to remote
areas,
such as JA and the long path was poor.

I am very thankful to my host Jim for this opportunity. It was kind of
"bring-your-toothbrush-only" operation. Just take your seat and go
ahead.

I also want to express my gratitude to:
*Ali, CN8TW, for lending equipment and providing housing in his ranch.
*Mohamed, CN8KD, for help with the licence and a good call, and for very
nice
company.
*Ibrahim ("braim") for his excellent household and assistance.

Please visit Jim's site http://cn2r.net for details of his dream
station.
