2xFT1000MP & 2xPAs

160m inv V, 80m GP, 40m 3/2el & dipole, 20m 4/4el & 4el, 15m 4/4el &
4el, 10m 4/4/4/4el & 6el

This one was hard and interesting. Our two men team had some problems with our
frozen towers before and during the contest. We were even thinking about doing
two single bands instead of multi-single. But with a small car cabin heater,
long cable and an old carpet we were able to unfreeze our frozen rotatable
towers and kept them going (a kind of) despite of snow and -15C cold. Downside
was that we only had one heater and one cable so few times we had to switch the
installion between the towers. We also fixed 40m dipole with broken support wire
during the contest.

Propagation was good to excellent all over weekend despite of impact and visual
aurora which held down the propagation especially Sat/Sun night. 10m was good
but not excellent, 15m was a money band, 20m decent, 40m daytime propagation was
poorer than in the previous years, 80m was interesting with three BYs answering
to our CQ, 160m we did the minimum.

Final score (claimed) is the second best CQWW CW multi-single score ever made
from Finland and beats our unofficial 2 op multi-single OH record (our claimed
score was 7,7M last year).

Downside with two operators was that two poor old men had to operate 45-47 hours
each to achieve this score. But we did it!
