The CQWW CW this year was just a disaster.
First of all, it was very hard to secure a day off on
Sunday under the current circumstances surrounding
this region.
The condition at the kick-off was terrible. I was only
able to make a total of just less than 100 QSOs for the
first four hours.
When EU became opening, the power went off suddenly
just in the middle of good pile-up. It lasted for 2.5
hours. I didn't know when the electricity would go back
on so I was not even able to take a nap. I guess my
500m-away-neighbour JY9QJ was in the same situation.
I would have missed approximately 300 QSOs.
First night, there was almost no opening to juicy
North American running.
On the second morning, I was expecting to make use
of the time I lost on the previous day. At 10 a.m., however,
I received a phone call from my colleague saying that
I have an urgent cable at the office. I had to leave the
shack once again in the good EU pile-up. Lost about
one hour with the possible QSO of about 120-160.
After about one hour since I returned home, I received
a phone call from my wife in town saying she was involved in
the traffic accident. I left the shack with no hope to
beat SOSB 20m Asian record that I was initially aiming for.
She was fine but I had to fight against the other driver
at the police station and her little Peugeot was hospitalized.
Lost about 2 hours+ and missed approximately 200-250 QSOs.
The night condition on Sunday was not as I expected. Any
Caribbean multipliers were not so strong and USA/EU
wall was too high to compete with.
After all, I was not able to replace the existing Asian
record which, I believe, I would definitely have been able to.
But all in all the contest was fun. I hesitate to say this
as I am saying it every year; my last CQWW CW from JY
was a memorable one. Let's hope that the political situation
would remain stable enough to allow me operating ARRL 10m.
