Comments:

Set-up was tribander+wires in middle of Ulan Bator city.  Path to US/VE was tough on these sunspots and only 131 QSOs to zones 3, 4 and 5 were made, of which only 12 QSOs to zone 5.  All US/VE QSOs were made on 20 meters, never heard any North America on any other band.  However, it was bit easier to reach Western Europe from zone 23 than from zone 19 in last years CW contest, so that helped QSO totals.  I had some 3-4 hours of power outages on 1st evening local time, right after my best hour #7, so some QSOs were lost for sure.

Thanks for JT-gang for all the help and leting me use the Club Station from this rare zone 23.  Their hospitality was great and it was nice to meet I guess most active hams in Mongolia during this trip !  I had a great time as always in CQ WW !
