[CCF] CQWW CW OH4A(OH6QU) SOSB/20 HP

[Jari Koski OH6QU]

Meinasi ihan unohtua CQ WW CW:n lokin lähetys...

Tällä kertaa meinasi ihan huumori loppua kun 10 asteen pakkasessa rassasi
maston suunnanosoitusta kuntoon siinä onnistumatta ja tiesi, että nukkuminen
ennen kontestia jää hetki hetkeltä lyhyemmäksi.

Comments:

Mr. Murphy ruined pretty much my motivation before the contest even
got started: out of two towers I had one tower not rotating and the
other one rotating but no direction indication in the ham shack. I
tried my best to fix the problems but one hour before the contest
did start I had to give up and go to sleep just for half an hour.

When the contest got started the band was only partially open and
after some QSOs I made the decision not to continue the contest but
go to sleep again and pull the plugs from the radio next morning.

After 4 hours of sleep I was in much better mood and I decided to
have some QSOs before packing equipment and driving 400 km back to
home. But after a few hours and several hundreds of QSOs in the log I
was ready to continue until end of contest :-)

Despite all the trouble with the towers it was a good contest for
me. I made my best SO20M/HP claimed score ever.

Thanks everyone who worked OH4A! QSL via OH6LI (via buro).
