Some of our best catches:
Earlier in the week, a strong ST0RM blew off 50 cm of tubing on one side of
the reflector of the 15 m beam. Fortunately, no real sign of higher VSWR or
pattern/gain distortion.
Well into the contest on saturday morning, when we were fixing the tribander
mounted on a temporary mast, SN0W, RA1N, and W1ND broke in; HA1L was too
weak. During the second night, FR0ST (quite strong) visited our site and
raised a bit the VSWR of the 80 m sloper array commonly known as "4-square"
(with sloping verticals and sloping horizontal elevated radials!)
Excellent conditions here on the low bands. Compare our 10 m and 160 m
scores! No US station was worked on ten but 100 are in the 160 m log and
404 on 80 m, with a run at 170 + in the 3rd hour of the contest by F6ARC.
Nice to see XZ1N and VQ9SS in the 160 log.
Thank you to our excellent local DX spotters. Unfortunately, the fragile
and slow link to the European mega-cluster was down for the full week end.
