TNX all QSO's. Best single band result and QSO number I've ever obtained.
Congrats to others on 15M. I'm wondering what's the score of DL2ARD this time.

Set up:
IC 765 + IC 775 in diversity receiving system.
3 towers with yagis: 4/4el. + 3el. + 3el
 
Great propagation despite the end of solar cycle 24. I guess - nothing worse
than it was in 2014. Activity on the band - even better.
Had a lot of fun despite tremendous splatters and local QRM that I never
experienced before. BTW I've realised there is one common point on all these
QRM'ers that use to put their signal 500-800hz away from you and never can hear
you: here in EU 90% of these cases are TOP stations from M/M or M/2, M/S
category! I think I lost about 100-150 QSO's only because of QRM. Maybe
more..., but let's talk about highlights:

* very long JA openings, both short and long path (a bit better on saturday) -
untill 14:00 UTC! 
* early and good opening to NA, starting before 12:00 UTC
* that means having great fun by running NA and ASIA simultaneously for abt 2
hours :)
* tower 3 with separated antenna pointed all the time to AF/SA is a winner.
Rare mults that called me and could be heard only thank's to this
configuration: 9Q, TY5, FR5, C5, PY0...

Missed some mults: XP1, JW5, XX9, ZD7... 
Zone 1 first QSO was VE8EV. Nice surprise at saturday morning coffee ;)

Finally, some stats:
NA: 1252 QSO
JA: 536 QSO
EU: 720 QSO
