The 160m CW contest this year brought motivated ops and improved hardware to a quite good result, even though propagations were down from last year. We only managed to work 67 US/VE stations, which is really bad but we managed to work 69 JA stations, which is really good! The result is just under last years, and we don’t feel that we could have done things any better than we did.

Not very good propagations. 67 US/VE worked and 69 JAs. We barely had
any openings towards US and the ones that made it through were really
weak. When it looked like it would recover on Sunday morning a
disturbance came again, which made propagation drop again.
We did just score a bit under last years score of just over 1 meg,
which we are very happy about considering how the propagation were
to the west. It was quite good towards asia most of the contest.
Tnx for the qsos!
