Comments:

Didn't decide until the last minute whether to be SOSB15 or SOSB20, but decided
to do 20m one more year. Although the band was quite noisy, improved solar flux
resulted in QSOs I would have never imagined in a DX contest with 100 watts.
Heard and worked A7 and FR before the assisted hordes descended on them. I
usually struggle to find Zone 2 in this contest, but had worked three of them by
the time I QRTed Friday night. On the other hand, never managed to work any of
the zone 20 countries I heard on Saturday.

Rig: Icom IC-7610 100 watts
Antenna: SteppIR DB-36 at 70 ft
Antenna: Optibeam OB16-3 at 50 ft fixed SE
