SJ2W Contest Station

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.

Part time operation, we had forrest work this weekend to get rid of some trees
to make place for a new tower for inband operation.
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.

Looks like SC24 is giving up, more mults worked on 80m than on 15m, despite of
big stacks on 15m. 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.
