Comments:

Third consecutive WWCW operation from Ceuta. This time with new call in order to
have one call for CW and SSB operations.

Great weather this time, sun, no wind, no rain.

Had a few issues before the start but during the contest everything worked
fine. 

Saturday 160m sounded mych better but did not mess too much with the EU pileups
on zone8 and 9 mults hoping to work them after EU sunrise. Condx went away and
never returned. During the second night the signals were down into the noise.

This year high band conditions were down compared to last year - the 1600 less
QSOs on 10m shows it perfectly. 

Skimmer pileups are terrible. Everybody comes with the same pitch no spreading
at all. I still don't know if it was a course or a blessing that ED9Z must have
taken as a busted call and hardly ever reported. I guess Skimmerz still had ED9M
in the database. 

Rig: FT1000MP+ TenTec Titan, TS-850+Acom 2000

Antennas:

160m: 18m high top loaded vertical on Spiderpole

Our sincere thanks go to Jorge EA9LZ for the tireless organisation work !
