Comments:

Once again we took part in WPX SSB as M2. This time in a more serious manner. By
the way we had a lot of problems during the contest: Saturday morning during
sunrise a black out forced us to stop 30 minutes, then another 4el for 20m
broken, and the 20m amp too (rapidly repaired by Franco IU6KKW). 

We tested for the first time 2 phased verticals on 80m directed to NW without
the possibility to switch to broadside. And since we used only one beverage to
NW, we missed some eastern Europe and Asia stations.

The 40m system worked well like last year. We also increased a little bit our
qso number on this band. 

Last year i mentioned some presumable problems on our 20m antenna system. One
year later i can assert that the system is completely wrong. But we are already
working on it and hope to be ready for cq ww contest season.

The rest of the setup worked smoothly except for the inband which can be
improved a lot.

We improved our score of 1M from the last year but at least other 2M could be
easily added/reached. We want to congrats OM7M for the score, and also LZ5R.

After all it was a nice weekend with friends and good food brought by Sal
IK8UND, Genny IZ8TDP, Frank IZ8GCE and Patrizio. 

Hope to see you in the next contests.
