Comments:

Our station is undergoing works and maintenance, the coming months we want to
uptdate some improvements and was not possible to make entry into Multi-op as
did previous years.

On Saturday morning when I got up, decided go to the station and do some radio
contesting, I decided entry as SO20 HP , it could start as soon as possible,
when leaving home I see that II9P (did MM) and had done 600qso in 20m (Friday
night with a very good opening, Fb!!). Arriving at the station told me EA3QP
also moved to ED3X and would also SO20 HP would a nice local copetition (EA vs
EA), although my competition was simply do radio, get some pile up and have fun
without aspirations of any kind.

The weather in central Spain very bad all weekend, snowing, great winds and
freezing temperatures, in some time completely lost reception with QRM 59+40
which prevented me from hearing anything :-(

I did not get interesting rate in almost any part of the contest except at
22utc Saturday night when I made 178 QSOs/h, the tactic was void for me, just
Run and Run, I did not look anything as the monoband not can use cluster, QRG
maintain complicated all the time I having to change many times my freq. 

Happy to work 63 states for the first time, I dont remember done 63 states
never, 3 x VY0 (NU) and 2 x VY1 (YT), this year in USA the last one to work was
NM (thanks NM5WB), some signs seemed to leave in the underworld without any
signal and a distorted voice that seemed Aurora on VHF bands ¿?, especially
stations in WA and BC.

I went home when was tired on Saturday night and it was so snowy my car that I
decided to spend the night at the station, finally I slept 8 hours straight,
sleeping like a king :-) , shower and back to the radio without any aspiration
rather than passing Sunday afternoon, again the weather was very bad and lost
constantly RX, as I had to work on Monday at officce had to leave the contest
with an nice open band, perhaps the best time on Sunday but it was too late if
he waited at the end of contest, a shame :-(

Congrats D4C (IZ4DPV) great Score, Tnx competition OK1NP, EA3QP and others. 

Tnx qsos and CU in future contests.
