Comments:

Amazing contest. I started playing in it just to test a recent purchase of an
uSDX QRP radio then conditions kept me glued in and it was fun. I even heard 10m
open for the first time in years. Unfortunately on sunday at 12utc I had to
stop, dismantle my antennas and drive 200km to go catch my parents who had their
car broken and were stuck far from home. The contest for me was over. I heard
10m opened up to US that day, what a pity.

Hats off to ON6NL for the score, I know I could have played along with him for
the remaining time, trying to hit 500k. It sure was possible this time but life
had other plans.

Lots of DX (VK9, PY0, HD0, CO, KL7...) and fun, really a spectacular contest
without major hiccups while I was operating. Only negative note is I could not
have 40m to work properly and ended up needing a tuner. Numbers shows that. I
had S9+++ stations calling in my face for hours and couldn't rise their
attention.

Overall I'm impressed by the radio. Except for 40m where sometimes it
"froze" due to the excess power and wide signals some stations were
running, but it worked like a charm even on crowded bands like 80m or 20m. All
the contest was an S&P fest, of course. No point calling CQ at QRP level and
on SSB.

I hope for a repetition of such great conditions for the CW part in which I hope
I can take part from somewhere with a fully working station (not my usual
"fieldday" style setup) and hope to devote the entire weekend to it
this time.

Thanks to the great ears out there, you made me smile many times during the
weekend.

See you next one
Stefano IZ3NVR
