[CQ-Contest] Echo

[Soro Roberto]

I was at IU2M  M/S and on sunday,
I don't know if they were echoes or multiple paths, or aurora's,
or a mix of all those things together, but it is true that
when I first heard XP1AB on 10m they were quite loud
but hardly understandable due to a bad audio like
if their PA was AC powered instead of DC at the final stage.
I wasn't even able to break through and I had to wait till
one hour later to score their mult,
when they were even louder with quite a clean sound!

Then, around 1800z on 15m, I had quite a good opening to west coast
and had half an hour at 250/h rate but a lot of W6 and W7 were coming
in with the same sound of XP1AB.
