Comments:

Our first CQWW 160 CW.
It is a contest that requires a great logistic due to the antennas size.
We manage a 56m high tower with some space for the beverages.
Some problems with the amplifier forced us to work some part of the contest
with low power.
It was extremely hard to assemble the beverages because the surrounding area
was covered in some places with 3m high bushes.
We were qrt on both days between 08:00 and 18:00. Usually only after 22:00 we
would start to work the first stations.

Despite all this we manage:
Total QSO: 1206
