After switching back and forth for a few weeks between a MS and a bunch of
SOAB-MIX-HP/LP entries, the dust settled on Monday b4 the contest when one of
the involved stns for SOAB operations had a trouble that couldn't be fixed in
time.

Lots of fun despite heavy qrn on Sat evening due to t-storms moving from North
(I3) down to South (I4). The only frustrating moment was hearing many callers
from NA/AS on 20mt ssb buried in the noise.

No tech issues besides having to restore the RBN connection every two minutes
when operating on some bands due to RFI into AP antenna.

Somewhat limited main antennas due to undergoing works outside. No in-band 2nd
antenna to enable non stop rx, just old style muting solution.
Considering all of the above, it was surprising to see us being just 30k behind
UZ2M around 6z Sun morning.
After that our NA advantage dried up and limited antennas, lack of in-band non
stop rx, worse eu skip on 10/15m and z29 advantage (3 pt/qs vs. 1 pt/qs where
the main activity area is located - z28)....just left us watching UZ2M flying
away and building a 500k lead by the ctest end.

Due to the last minute choice to enter MS and the delayed data transfer over
WLAN 5ghz link due to RFI, we decided to forget about posting to cqcontest.ru.
Hopefully next time.
