Hi everybody...
Another one that I enjoyed very much.
Don't want to reactivate the debate, but wish more contest organizers include a
non-assisted SO1R category... Mult-hunting and band-change decisions remain for
me the interesting part of the game.
Just a special mention to VE3NEA ( http://www.dxatlas.com/ ),and his
"hamCap" (already mentionned here last week) a very nice and userfriendly
interface for the public domain VOACAP (which is to ionospheric propagation
simulation what NEC2 is to antenna simulation -great algorythm but hard to
use-). For this contest the HamCap window took the room left by the telnet
windows in my N1MM screen setup, and I have been very impressed by the
reliability of the simulation... Even the 15m late opening has not been a
surprise, and without exception, each long distance station worked was
"predictable" on the map. A great tool...
Looking forward to the "russian"... lot of mults to hunt.

PS: Rag - Concerning the interferences on 14105; I would not worry too much:
They did not buy this frequency - isn't it?
Unlike the segment 099-101, it is not mentionned in any bandplan that 14105 has
to remain free from RTTY contesting... So if the frequency was free when you
started CQ'ing, I don't see any problem... they have to wait for you to QSY
before starting their net...
And what about the QRM generated to contesters on 20m by "unmanned" packet
stations and/or by "unmanned" PACTOR BSS's...
By the way what about the ARRL TTY/AMTOR bulletins on 14095 - I think I never
heard them during a contest... But does the ARRL say anything about?
Here what says the IARU region1 bandplan:
============================================================
14070 - 14089 200 digimode, cw
14089 - 14099 500 digimode (non-automatic packet preferred), cw
14099 - 14101 200 IBP
14101 - 14112 2700 digimode (store-and-forward preferred), phone, cw
Where several modes are shown in the sub-bands the first has priority. But this
has to be exercised on a Non-interference Basis (NIB) according to the ITU
Radio Regulations.
Unmanned transmitting stations:
IARU Member Societies are requested to limit this activity on the HF bands. It
is recommended that any unmanned transmitting station on HF shall only be
activated under operator control except for IARU approved beacons or specially
licensed experimental stations.
It is recommended to use more efficient modes than the AX.25 packet radio.

IC756PROII+Homebrew 4CX250amp - 400W
Optibeam OB6-3M tribander (2el/bd) @40'- Vee Dipoles @60'
N1MM V4.0.109 - mmtty 1.65
First attempt in this contest.
Marginal activity on 10m but 15m in quite good shape with late opening to NA and
good signs/activity from JA. Low activity on 3.5 (i.e: band empty at sunrise)
and 7Mhz mostly useful for EU.
In general conditions better than last week with quite good overall activity
(1/3DX - 2/3EU).
I like the "no-cluster" category but on the other hand the rules leave very
limited room for real mult-hunting and strategy... (strategy= work them all!)
No rare DXCC this time but congrats to Z31MM for being my unique 5bander and to
NA2M for being on the air after so many years of license...
Stations heard more frequently: WA2ETU (the big signal fm states)- LA6FJA (all
bands - all the time...)
RTTY contesting remains a "papy-sport" but nice to see some fresh blood coming
;-).Once again, was really amazed by the peak rates I could get with my small
domestic station...(see my e-qsl for an antenna view... low bands dipoles are
still supported above the tribander by the recycled windsurf mast !).
Tnx all for QSO's and see you in the next one !
