(160) 27m shunt-fed tower, Mag-Loop (RX)
 (80) Bobtail (NW/SE), Delta Loop, DP @10m
 (40) 3el M2 Yagi @20m (linear-loaded), DP @10m
 (20) 5el M2 Yagi @27m  
 (15) 5el Yagi @25m    
 (10) 6el Yagi @24m (sharing tower with 40m) 

I really like Classic, especially with those spectacular condx!

After the first morning 10 & 40m were not up to my expectations and I found
the cause to be the 10/40m rotor off by about 45deg - once again! The Prosistel
rotor really is a miracle to me as it was correctly aligned minutes before the
contest. But of course it is hard to get rid of Murphy once he has settled down
in a little iron rotor case.

I wanted to operate 2/3 on Saturday and work the lowbands during the high-rate
hours at the beginning. In retrospect it would have been better to ignore
multipliers on 80/160m and maximize operating time on the high bands.

I enjoyed working HK1NA with my stationmate DK3GI at the key.

Congrats to HA3NU for an outstanding score!

CU in the next one,
