Comments:

As far as I can recall, this was my first EUHFC (in at least 18 years...), so I was a bit clueless.

Fortunately the activity more than made up for the poor band conditions. Looking at the breakdown, I screwed up with the 40m band. I also put a lot of time into esoteric 15m/10m QSOs in the beginning of the contest (at the cost of rate), frantically gathering mults while thinking those bands might not open up again. Alas, I was proven wrong by nice openings later on...! 

Anyway, fun and nice rates abounded. It was also fun to follow the race on the live scoreboard at cqcontest.net. Within the band change rules, SO2R was useful mostly in finding 10m/15m openings, making quicker transitions from one band to another, and moving a few multipliers.

Congratulations to Pertti OH2PM in our tight local competition! :)
