[CCF] ARRL 10m SO CW Unlimited HP - OH6QU

[oh6qu at netikka.fi]

Kävi paska tuuri auringonpilkkujen kanssa tässä kisassa - 
torstai-lauantai auringon pilkkuluku oli pyöreä 0. Edellinen 0-päivä oli 
lokakuun puolivälissä ja vastaava kolmen päivän pilkuton putki oli SAC 
CW:n aikoihin syyskuussa. Onneksi kuitenkin ES- ja MS-etenemistä 
esiintyi niin ei mennyt koko kisa F1:n paineluksi.

Comments:
Who stole the sun spots just before the contest? Give them back now!

I worked mostly EU stns using Sporadic-E and Meteor Scatter. Not much DX 
stns in the log - 4 AS, 6 AF, 28 SA and 1 Caribbean. Only 2 stns from 
State Sides heard but not worked - KC1XX and WA1T. Both of them came via 
skewed path from SA direction during Sunday afternoon grayline but their 
signals were barely readable.

I was hoping a severe geomagnetic storm at the end of contest which 
could open the Polar Path via Aurora-E propagation to the NA but it 
didn't happen this year.

Using FTdx5000 & OM2500A/1.5 kW and 3 x Hy-Gain TH7DX tribander stack at 
the seaside location.
