Hello!

After all the informations we got in last year's cqww ssb and this year's wpx
we decided to improve the station a little to get more fun out of it.

So we installed a field day option with another tribander (spiderbeam) to chase
mults with the second station and finnaly improved a little out ears on the
lower bands with the k9ay loop. It heard things that otherwise would be
impossible to work.

Lots of work had to be done before the contest and i have to thank all the
team, that was willing to sacrifice some time on the gear, cables and antenna
work. Thank you s55kz, s56lkp, s56wix, s59w and s57bat for some last hour quick
repairs!

Condition were for us totaly weird. Specialy on 7 the first night there was
almost no propagation to usa and on 14m there was a total wall down to south
america. Missing even HC8 and CE, hq2, on 14m is like ????. They were heard on
14 last night, but with the usa pileup didnt think of turning the antennas back
to EU.

Conditions on the upper bands improved on 15 and 20 on sunday, but otherwise it
was more or less WAE :). 10m didnt open again to NW for us. Missing things like
PA and ON...is like..hmmm ?

Multi's are down from last year, so were the conditions, but we managed to work
almost half of the multiplayer qso's with the multi station, which is way over
the expectations. The station improved, the conditions didnt :) HI.

Overall a lil bit behind as last year on score. I am impressed, since on
saturday i was thinking that we wouldnt get over 3k. But s56y managed most of
the last hours on the run station working everyone on 80m :)). Great job guys!
