My experimentation with BOG antennas didn't confirm it to be a DX antenna on
160. I decided to put up a new beverage for JA direction instead. It was 214m
long and 1m high. I finished installation on Friday morning and didn't have the
chance to confirm its performance especially on these times of bad condx on
160.

>From the contest experience, it had a good pattern and managed to produce clear
signals. I managed to hear few JAs.

For NA direction, I kept relying on my 260m-long beverage.

A thunder storm over Cyprus made RXing a bit challenging. A thought to the
Syrian refugees in Idlib who got floods in their camps rendering their lives
more miserable.

The band was clearly in bad shape here. Very few NAs heard and worked. Congrats
to N0FW who managed to pick up my 100W signal among the crowd!

This year's score is less than half of last year's one! The contest remains a
great fun, though!

RX: 260m Bev NA, 214m Bev JA
TX: 17m Toploaded Vertical, 30 radials
