Comments:

Radio: Ten-Tec Jupiter
Antenna: DX-Eng 80/40 Thunderbolt 55ft Dual Band Vertical
Software: N1MM Logger+ 1.0.5774.0

I had the best intentions, but conditions were "strange" to say the
least (translation: propagation sucked). Ever since I retired the hexbeam I
have learned not to expect too much on higher bands with the only antenna being
80/40 vertical. But working first EU (DL0WW on 20 m) 5 hours into the contest
and the second one 8 hours after starting (yes, I worked my second EU, TM6X, at
exactly 20:00 UTC) is "a bit much" even by my BB-gun standards. It
became better with time, but I never recovered and all I managed was less than
2/3 of my "usual" multipliers and significantly fewer Qs than
expected. Back to the drawing board, working on my plan to move to a large
ocean side property with phased vertical arrays, stacked monobanders and
assorted beverages :)
