Comments:
Really nice contest, I really enjoyed it.
I want to thank my friends for the help with the antennas, without them it would
not have been possible. (EA4BQ, EA8KR, EA8DHC, EA8DHO). All antennas worked
perfectly. The Beverages did not work as well as they should, but they helped a
lot on 80/160, it was my fault to install them only a day before without time to
test them enough.
The first night was very noisy on 40/80m, there was storms in the EU and NA
direction and with the pilups (zero beats) and the noise it was difficult to
keep both radios working all the time.
On Saturday good conditions in 10/15 especially to EU with good rates.
The second night the 40/80 bands were very clean and with good signals. At 2:20
I couldn't take it anymore and I was able to rest for two hours. After the break
there was a power cut of about 30min and when the computer started the N1MM had
lost all the configuration, so I had to reconfigure everything from scratch, so
another 30min lost.
On Sunday everything worked well and it was fun, especially in the high bands.
In the afternoon my head could not work properly and I had to stop 30min to
refresh myself, eat something and "reset" my head to continue.
In the last 2 hours, many multipliers worked from Asia on 40 and 80m and also
incredible S9 signals in 40m where it was still daytime. I missed some
multipliers and that's why I'm not happy with the low score, I admit that I was
a bit lazy to look for multipliers.
Congratulations to Chris and Dan for their GREAT performance, AMAZING. When they
announced their operation from TI and ZF I was very clear that I had nothing to
do in SOAB. It would have been easier to change to another category before or
even after the contest but that´s not the way to win.
Many thanks for the QSO. See you in the next contest.
