First contest with new transciver. It worked nice but
propagation was terrible here. I also had strong local QRM from
nearby high tension line so lost many not so strong
stations. It is frustating the hear that someone is calling
but not be able to copy in noise. I tried all DSP tricks
but only marginal improvements.

I was not active all 24 hours, the bad propagation
made me take a few hours off for other matters.

Thanks to all who worked me, or tried to call me.
See you in CQ-WW in September.
