Contest is over, fun it was...
Nice to have some sun spot's again.
Aurora was also back..band closed early on 15 and 20 mtr.
10 mtr have some spotty opening's up here.
VK6LW was s7 for 45 min hr..but no qso..
Missed a lot of easy/nearby mults. Had one run (60 q's), rest was S&P.
Limited antennas, vertical for 10-15-20 ,Dipole for 40.
GP fullsize for 80 (4 elevated rads) and sloper for 160.
Not much DX worked only 156 qsos and 127 was USA's.
Did not hear a single *JA* station,band was closed to the far east..
Best 'DX' band for me was 40 mtr..KH6-FM-KP2-KP4-PJ4-TI-ZF in log.
Good qso score of LB6GG also 1754 q's, great number On low Power,
I think he run wire's antennas also...
LN8W over 10k q's...great...a safe/trusty Norway mult on low bands.
Hat's of for TI7W and ZF1A 11800 and 11200 q's are Madnes for a single Op.
But it's a lot of great cw op's out there, hardcore qso's machines..
OOppss my qso goal was to make 1500 q's, did not make it...due to a
good long sleep into the sunday morning...
73's enjoy ham radio.
CW is KING...

More to the story....
I work a lot, I'm not a Young boy ..
This year I was taking free from work on Friday
before the contest, sleep till about 7 o'clock on Friday morning.
For a time ago, I was buying a new computer .
So on Friday morning I started to set up the computer for
the radio stuff, I use MK2 from Microham and loaded
the microham device into the computer, every thing ok.
Then Ooppss I had forget to pay the licence fee for the
log program... I like the log program from DL7UCX..
(no licence only 200 q's I think) I had an old
Version of this program, when it was free... but
after my computer crash in august i have no log program.
Well I have SD-log it's free and fully open.
But I prefer UCX-log....
So I sent the fee early on Friday morning and thanks
god and DL7UCX for quick respons.
I get the licence key and everything was up and running.
So everything was ok...I think.....
Testing antennas...80 mtr was dead...
Checked the choke balun, uuhh full of ice..
It's was Cold this morning -8 C.
The result ,Cold body, pain head and nose.
Paracet and relax on sofa, wife say to me...
I think you have Corona...go other room..stay outside..
Thank you my sweet wife...Nice Words..I love you to..
One hour before contest started I was OK again.
Contest ended OK I think
A good result on this smal antennas,for sure.
