CQ WW CW 2011 - 3830 report!

After a lot of days hard work, many, many people involved, finally the week-end
was here!
Worked all friday - 3 single projects, and up to 1 hour before kick-off - OZ
finally - again- entered in the MULTI-MULTI category.

3 operating positions - 8 operators - and not least the very busy supporters: OZ1XJ,
OZ1LCG, OZ1JUX, OZ4VW, OZ4ABH and all the visitors who helped carry sandbags
for the One Man tower !

A tough and hard strategy for the start on 160, 80 and 40 - beginning rate over
360 per hour - hard but real fun!
Started a bit too early on the high bands - hard starters, but then, oh boy
!!!! - none of us have had this much fun for a long time in this hobby !
Gigantic Pile-ups on a little OZ pistol !  But all the new mono-banders helped
all the way! 

Saturday - sun eruptions closed the high bands for several hours in the
evening/night. 
Just as predictions said. 
But saturday/sunday on the lower bands, a lot to work and a lot of multis to
put in the log.
North America, South America, Asia, Africa and even a few Oceania.

Sunday - oh black sunday! Power failure due to the very bad storm and a total
break down of several of our logging and Antennaswitching and -turning
computers.
Total rearrangements.... The FT 1000's switched to Elecrafts and total bypass
of all systems.
We lost almost 2 hours of operation. But after this - back in business - and
even stronger!
We did not give up before after sunday 23:59:59 !

We had a prediction for a major storm on sunday - and oh boy it came along all
right..
Antennas had a hard time up there - but it was the Sommer Antenna on the ground
that suffered the most damage, when support fell over in the wind :-)

Lots and lot of multis and DXCC's - nearly DXCC on all bands - only missing a
few here and there for a 5 Band All Zones - missing a few on 160 - but next
year!

- So far new (again again) OZ record!

This is still the Worlds Best Hobby - and with these kinds of results even more
so ...a flying start for the newly created Danish Contest Academy !

CUAGN !

- and we managed to make it to Television as well ( second item )
