> 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 !
