Comments:

It wasn't in my plans to make a serious ARRL SSB participation this year, but a
call from Ali 3V8ESG suggesting me to do an M/S operation changed my mind.

Ali is a Communication engineering student and he's the chief operator of
3V8ESG ARAT Club in his school. Ali has became very enthusiastic to the hobby
and actively contributed in a lot of ARAT trainings and activities.
Operating M/S with Ali in his first contest operation was really fun and I'm
sure he learnt a lot from this experience. I tried to coach him before and
during the contest on how to predict propagation, contest strategy and band
changes, operating hints and tips... I think a new 3V contester is about to be
born!

The contest was great with a big activity on the bands. All mults were worked
except for YT and NU.

Propagation was better on Saturday. Low bands were deceiving; especially 80 and
160 with a low S/N ratio - No QSO made on 160!

This contest was a good opportunity for me to prepare for Boston WRTC in terms
of managing pileups. I'm getting very excited seeing the event approaching very
quickly. I hope I'll meet you guys soon over there "insh'Allah"!
