[WWYC] 9A CW SJ2W

[Mikael Larsmark]

Had fun even though amp quit on me when I was gonna try it before the 
contest so I had to run it LP. Fun battle with Fabian even though he 
came out winning this time, I hope we can do a rerun next year so I can 
try to beat him, hopefully with HP.

Comments:

I had plans to do the contest high power but when I arrived to the QTH 
and was gonna test the amp something is wrong with it. So I decided to 
go barefoot and was about to quit a few hours in but stuck in there. I 
slept 2 hours but sat in the chair rest of the time.

I am happy with the result, new SM record at least and I beat my old HP 
record too which was taken at the old QTH. I suffered from just having a 
vertical on 40m, but next year this will be improved and I'll try to do 
a good result in the HP category instead. First time > 1000q for me in 
this contest. Last year I did SB 80 which was not to recommend so this 
year even though LP it was a lot more fun.

US signals on 20 were amazing but extremely low activity. Fun to work 
W7LR on 160m with just 100W (!) and also a few other big guns.

FT1KD + IC-7400
160m: 37m vert + 8 bevs
80m: 4-SQ
40m: Vertical
20m: 6el mono
15m: 6el mono
10m: 6/6el mono

Next one will be CQ 160 CW! Tnx for all qsos!
