766 QSOs without dupes

Rig: Icom 756 Pro2, 100W
Antenna: home made 2 element Moxon, 4-6 m above the roof.

N1MM software connected to DX spot & skimmer cluster.

Directive antenna without rotator helps to not feel too tired of sitting in the
chair :) Luckily the mast is just few jumps up the stairs from the radio, so it
takes about 20 seconds to change the direction. And anyway North direction here
works quite well for the whole Europe.

First morning was slow, but compared with the second - better propagation to
UA9's. 
Both days in the afternoon there were couple of boring hours. But on Sunday
afternoon the gap was more evident - for about 0.5-1 hour only ET3AA and J25DXA
were on the band (booming).

The Saturday evening there were 2-3 hours, when I felt just a bit too far to
the South to join the "party" going on in the central and northern Europe -
lots of spots proving good conditions inside Europe but I could not reach in. I
could a bit before and after :)

Sunday evening didn't have the second good evening opening to Europe, like
Saturday evening had before/around local midnight. And on Sunday evening the
band closed earlier - around local midnight, while on the night to Sunday I was
working Europe until 2:00 AM local time. However on Sunday evening I got more
Caribbean stations in the log.

QSO breakdown by countries
(seems that propagation was not favorable from here to Germany this time)
