Aurora killed the most fun saturday,aurora  on 40 mtr  signal also.
Sunday was better , ten mtr was open to Japan/Asia in the morning.




XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Had hoped for  better radio propagation.  But living in the aurora zone
can some times be difficult . this year it was difficult ,The bands was not
open to the west, only some few North Americans was worked.
Spend to much time in radio this weekend also, was doing some cw qso's
beside the test. Hunting for ZD9XF and P29NI ,it was with success.
My Optibeam's realy deliver, It's the best invest i have done since I started
with radio back in 1976......

FUN...FUN...NOT FUN...BIG FRUSTRATION...THEN BIG BIG FUN...
Sac cw contest it's the big event for a Scandinavian if you like pile-up.
For me this is like a early x-mas. This year i finally had a yagi to use.
Yes my tower is up and the antennas are also where they should be.
For first time I have competive antennas. But the contest started slow for me,
started on 20 mtr,the first 2 hour was only giving me 160 q's, in 2013 I had
200 after 2 hour. Last year I was using a g5rv. I started to think ,low
propagation, low Activity....after Reading comments on this reflector I
understand 15 mtr was hotter than 20 mtr.....so I think I should have qsyed to
15 mtr earlier. Then i was qsy to 40 mtr and i have a terribel qrn on the
band.
What happen !! The noise Level was very annoying ,so I have big problem to rx.
So I think sac cw 2014 was over for me. Noise on 80 mtr was even worser
s9+40db.
I was thinking, have someone in the neighbourhood buy a 100 inch plasma tv...
I started to check innside the house and luckly i found the qrn machine.
It was a computer screen that was making the noise, this one was quickly
switched off, and I have to say R.I.P. you will never enter my house again...
This happen in prime time eu, so I think I lost 100-150 q's on 40-80 mtr
I was only qrv 18 hour. Was sleeping to long also. But next year...
But after solve this problem the fun was comeing back...
I dont know what ct9/sm5alj was doing but he tx-ing cl9/sm5alj to me...
Conclusion after the weekend was good, all my new antennas performed well
and that's a good feeling,have only to adjust the 160 mtr slooper before the
cqww cw test, hopefuly I can do that soon and not the night before the test...
A big thank you to all who was calling me....year after year...
Cu all next year  . Lars
