Hello Olof et al

Always interesting to hear how a contest went for others. We used to get
quite a lot of these reports on this reflector.

Conditions on 15m were superb here. With lots of other things to do, I was
only QRV for 19 hrs, but worked 85 countries. DXCC would have been easy if I
had bothered to do more S&P, as would many more QSOs if I had spent more
time in the shack.

Amazing to work Mike VP8NO followed immediately by JA stations - the band
was open everywhere at times.

15m Single-band HP Unassisted, 1133 Qs, 642 Pfx = 1.28M pts

K3 + Amp + WinTest 4.9.1 + 5ele monoband yagi

Used the latest firmware in the K3 - it certainly makes the stronger signals
stand out, but still unsure whether it has actually improved the pile-up
performance overall.
