Comments:

Murphy was all around. 
The foreseen Microham µLink network did not work in time so the stack matches
had to be rewired for manual switching which made their use more complicated
for the operators who also had no time to become familiar with the station
before the contest started.
The rotator for the yagi stacks did not turn anymore saturday night and was
stuck 10°, the other was found 100° offset 5 hours before the contest ended.
So all target aereas were on the side of the beam when used on 20, 40 and 80m
for what amount of hours we can only imagine. 
So many possible mults have been missed especially on 40m and not so good runs
as expected were possible.
Anyway, it was still fun to do the contest and the team kept motivated til the
end of the contest.

Thanks to everybody who exchanged a report with us.

Special thanks to Robert the station owner and his wife Maria for outstanding
hospitality and the use of this fine station which has been built up from
scratch during the last few month.
