Well, c) should be the main reason, here is few people interested in
answering to ANOTHER N9
Also, where did you call? For success with spanish calls you should try
28300-350 (novice band) and I suggest some good technique I heard this
weekend. Don't call concurso, call cq and ask that novice the power... some
guys here don't like contests at all, but they DO like DX stations (and for
many beginners a N9 is DX). But most stations not serious into the contest
will spend some hours only calling cq.
BTW, are very interesting the comments about us... but I wonder if anyone
will remember us when you have cndx with EU.
Good luck. Adios, suerte en el concurso.
