[CQ-Contest] Feedback of CQWW SSB

[jukka.klemola at nokia.com]

I was at OH0V on 15.
Now back in Mainland Finland with net connection.


-I had many stations that were seemingly deaf, although I was not low power..

+The most positive sign was I felt in general the pileups were smother and faster than before
+People did not ask QSL manager as often as before (for OH4A & OH0V QSL via buro, via OH6LI)

--When working East Coast during our afternoon, people did
  not behave and that took some fun away..
    =whan saying 'N1 again', I get KA1, K1, W1 W4 calling simultaneously

++East Coast runs were LOUD at times

+Europeans did behave surprisingly well, even when trying to get thru to V73

+Amount of wider than 10kHz spreading signals was smaller than before

+I expect to see some actions from contest committee regarding the
 wide skirt signals

+This high latitudes bands were clearly on or off, meaning I could sleep quite well

+Some zone 3,4 and 5 QSOs after 22UTC on Sunday, so some guys know turning
 antenna NE at those hours on 15 sometimes pays off


73,
