Comments:

First time for all of us in this Contest from Sicily.
Not very used to see snow and hailstorm here. A few storms damaged the station
some hours before the contest so no rx antenna the first night. We managed to
listen with the tx vertical and the 80m 4sq.
That's why we couldn't answer to all that were calling in: sorry for that !
We thought we could repair the beverages and Apex loop but just at the end of
the contest we realized that also terminating resistors were damaged: so the
whole contest has been run without proper receiving antennas.
By the way, nice to be called by ZF2DX, XW4ZW, 7Z, TF, VR and some JA (qsx
down) and KO7X booming from WY (@ our sunrise) !
35 states the first night was amazing (without rx ant) and unexpected, but very
low number of qso on saturday.
Thanks to Carmelo IT9AUG, and Antonello IT9EQO for mantaining the station
active. Great work by Marcello IT9CJC, Vincenzo IT9CHU, and Pierino IV3YYK.
