Comments:

Well, what could I say... Propagation really made contesting at 60 degrees 
north quite challenging. Most of the time, I had to beam to about 230 degrees 
because of heavy aurora absorbed my signal in polar path (normally we beam to
315 degrees for NA). But everything was set up,  so giving up wasn’t an option,
event ought sometimes I found myself thinking the true meaning of contesting and
wondering how low can the rate go. 

While calling CQ and tuning the bands with another radio, I also had time 
to think what kind of a result could one do with such a station as OH2BH, if 
the set-up would have been a couple of thousand kilometres more south. 

The set-up used: 
2 X FT1000MP Mark V + Pa´s 

Tower 1 (42 meters): 
160m: 2el inv-vee 
80m: dipole 
20m: 6-over-6 yagis 
15m: 6el yagi 
10m: 6el yagi 

Tower 2 (48 meters): 
80m: 3el yagi 
20/15/10m: 3 X staked 10el tribanders (JP2000) 

Tower 3 (36 meters): 
40m: 3el yagi 
20m: 4el yagi 
15m: 4el yagi 
10m: 4el yagi 

Because of low rates, I had a lot of time for playing with SO2R and very 
effectively S&P and move guys around the bands. Thank you for QSO´s and 
all QSY´s I asked. Every single QSO was very appreciated!
