Comments:

D9K have been exposed sometime by Korea Contest Club in the past. But serious
effort in big contest is first time and we had a lot of fun.

Many keen contesters confused our callsign because D9 is unusual prefix over
many years.
"DL9 What?" , "Delta Nine Zero something?" , "Delta ending kilo come again.."
and so other repeat asking was usual when operators did search and pounce on
the bands.

M/2 by three operators from far away place was crazy challenge but we made
it..!

Propagation
-----------
10m - Good. Better than last year but sometime need yelling to beat some local
walls.
15m - Best. Nice pile-up from NA in Sat/Sun morning time. The pile-up remind
memories past solar cycle peak.
20m - Very bad and worse than last year. We could listen bunch of EU/NA during
daylight time but no chance our signal reach their door. Only a few big guns
workable on this band.
40m - Great. Nice pile-up from EU/NA during whole Saturday night. But the band
flatted on Sunday evening and only a few contact allowed. Very satisfied
performance of 4 sqaure array which has 25dB or more F/S ratio by blind A/B
tests during pre operation for contesting.
80m - Nice experience. loaded vertical antenna(around 18m height) with one
beverage allowed us many mults. Never been expected some rare contest stations
- CN2R, D4C, Etc - heard and call us. The dream realized in early morning.

Thanks to all and see you next contests. 
Rocky/HL1VAU
