This weekend was meant to be a work weekend, but after we got the 40m stack box up the tower and got delayed about 1.5 hours we worked rest of the contest. Now I hope we have time to get the 18m tower with the 5el for 20m up before the snow but it will be close. Its no disaster if this does not happen, but it would make us a lot more flexible.

Comments:
Going into this contest we did not plan anything serious. Last weekend we
managed to get two new antennas up and Saturday morning was spent with SM2WMV 3-4
hours up in the tower getting stuff in order. When this was done some more time
was spent getting the cabling finished on the ground and we lost the first 1.5
hours of the contest. So we guess that probably 250 qsos was lost during this
period. However we managed to beat last years score.
It was fun to see 10m alive the way it was. We heard W6 on 10m at 01:30z which
must be many years since it was possible. We also had great night time openings
towards US on 15 and 20m. However there was some aurora which can clearly be
seen looking at our rate sheet. Best hour was in the middle of the night on 20m
when the aurora finally released its grip of the polar path.
80m was painful and also 40m was down compared to last year. The mult count on
80m is just ridiculous but we tried, many times and still could not get
anything going at all. Thanks to K3ZO though for calling in as the only US
station. As M/S we aren't able to do DUAL CQ either which otherwise is a good
help during those slow hours.
Since we didn't plan anything serious, we didn't really have a real mult
station. We hooked up a radio barefoot but we didn't move much mults, since we
were not going to be serious anyway.
Next one will be M/S in CQWW SSB, so look for us then!
Check out the website, it contains lots of information about the progress of
the contest station. You can also find the equipment etc there.
