SM2LIY has been active in a few contests but I guess the only real serious effort was SAC CW last weekend. However propagation’s in all of these three events have been very poor, what a difference from what we have experienced before where most of the contests have been pretty good.

Conditions was not the best, bad during day on 15 and especially bad on 10m on saturday. Got beaten by 100 watters with small antennas on 15m calling the DX. MUF even too low to call UA9 on 15m, had to beam to central EU and work them on scatter. Same with NA during day, pointed to PY for QSOs. Many stations worked at s1-s2 level. Thats life under the oval at 64N when ms Aurora is visiting.

Got 2 USA in log on 15m during the night on a short Aurora opening. 7 JA worked on 15m. K-index swinging between 5 and 7 from sunday 03z to the end. Had some problems with N1MM+ and dual CQ, audio moved to other rx before i had typed the whole call, often missed last letter, so had to put in longer CQs than needed to fix that problem. Also was some focus problem writing the call, often last 2 letters in the call appeared in wrong order. Thanks to all callers and to all who tried to move to other bands, also thanks to Mike serving some very needed coffee. 80m: 4-SQ 40m: 3/3el + 2/2el + 4-SQ 20m: 6/6/6el + 5/5el + 4el @EU 15m: 6/6/6/6/6el + 6/6el 10m: 6/6el + 6el @46m K3 + ACOM 2000A (Sponsored by Ojojoj Music AB) TS590 + 4-1000 micro KEYER 2R openASC N1MM Logger+
