Comments:

I couldn't image such a nice start of the contest season!
After weeks of analysis and planning I was there ready to take 5hrs nap before
the 2 AM local time.

It was so windy on Friday that all yagis where on the ground and just some
minute before the contest the 3L+2L beams raised full height.
The prop was good on 40 and 80 with reasonable rates. During the first day it
was 20m + some try on 15 and 10 that where almost closed all the time.
20m where so crowded that even on 14150 there where someone doing rtty. In the
time computers are ft8-connected is amazing, isn't it?

Second night was less fun but still good so a 20min nap was a must to avoid the
issues occured in 2018. Early in morning something happen anyway - no clear
eyesight - so another 20min break.

During Sunday SN7Q was pushing so hard that I felt I'd loose the first place on
cqcontest. Guys, this tool is the future and really makes you motivated until
the last second. 

Highlights:
- no US on 15-10. WW4LL was strong on 15m to TI2OY pileup so I tried some run
with no luck
- 3V8SS, EA4GOY, EI7KD, GW0A, IT9RBW, LZ8E you are my 6 bands ;)
- 759 NA, 231 AS
- VU2GRM and YB0NSI on my CQ on 80m

It was a true joy from the begininng playing with Claudio's flawless station.
Thanks for hosting me fixing the issues on the go! Thanks to ARI Cinisello who
let me use their famous IQ2CJ callsign.
