Thanks to Mike SM2WMV for the invitation and to him and Peter SM2XJP for the
hospitality and the great time I had in north Sweden on the whole weekend.
Mikey's station is a fantastic piece of engineering work. 

Thursday afternoon I heard a few ua6's on 10m and quite some EU well into the
darkness on 15m. It gave me high hopes for the contest. Friday condx took these
guys away but resulted a KH2/N2NL QSO on 160 SSB (!). 

I started on 20SSB, issued nr 51 at 1210 so it felt right. Starting WT recorder
made WT crashing and after some hectic reconfig I returned but the pileup I
never recovered. 15m was fb to the USA, but EU was only possible to
backscatter, 10 did not exist. Low bands were magnificent from there,
especially 80 and 160. 40m condx from KP04 never stopped to amaze me. 

Funny, that long haul DX on low bands happened BEFORE sunset and AFTER the sun
came up but not between. I heard a fluttery k5zd around 10z on 40m and to my
surprise wh6r next to him. Being able to work wh6r at 11am local is cool.

10m? what ? sunspots? really?

73, zoli ha1ag
