Comments:

Managed to raise another 10m widespaced 7 el antenna 14m boom to the other
tower
45m up. That was worthwile addition to the old 8 el yagi on the other tower
25m
up. So two directions were changeable with flip of the switch.
Higher antenna was mostly better in spite of (too) low takeoff angle.
Win-test seems not to understand that IC-7700 has also B-vfo, so I was not
able
to use "SO2V" system. It might be also that I did not find the instructions
in
WT manual.
Previous Finnish record was almost doubled - thanks to good conditions on
10m.
Fortunately those were not "too good" and gave some sleep in the nighttime
for
old bones.
Band was closed on both days around 17 UTC in spite I still had some tales
to
tell to the USA/Caribbean direction.
Thanks for QSOs to all: QSL to the e-qsl or direct. I am in the process to
get
the LOTW.
