Comments:
This is the lowest score I made from OH8X station in 2010-2014.
First several hours were tough as participation from UA9 and middle east was
low. I felt Russian RTTY and CWOps contest did quite big impact on AA.
Then 15m towards Far East was open earlier than usual, peaked at 05Z then
running out of stream. Meanwhile I could hear other EU station working JA on
10m, but I have only 4 JAs in log.
Then real challenge came about 19Z, I could hear only EU station and was shut
to the rest of the world. So no JA worked on 80m, very few on 40m at 1st JA
sunrise.
This blackout continued in second day as 15m opening to Far East was several
hours later than other part of EU. This time I found technical problem on one
side of SO2R system and decided to change SO1R as there were not many occasions
to utilise SO2R capability due to the bad propagation.
Actually there is no dual openings from here, for example 20m and 15m
simultaneously to JA. Therefore I did not do duel CQ and do not bother to move
multipliers.
Later on Sunday, 40m opening to JA was much much better than Saturday and I
could increase my score as most of station worked this time is also new
multiplier. Due to the absence of killer antenna on 80m, I decided not to spend
time on 80m this time instead concentrate on 40m. Then at 21:24 QSO with JA on
40m, band was closed. I went to 20m as usual but found nothing. It is first
time for me to finish this contest several hours before the end. Strange
propagation...... :-(
Anyway thanks for all QSOs.
