Aurora  Aurora  Aurora.
My qth at 60* North.
Not easy to make any qso at all.
My goal was 500 qso's....made it.
830 qso's total,a kind of madness with my set-up.
410 q's on GP7DX vertical (10-15-20)
Fun to se 10 mtr open,also happy to make 120 Q's on 80 mtr.
That's more ssb q's on 80 mtr than I have in my last 15 years.
Conds was not the best, mainly EU's in log.
I felt the band was closed to the east and to the west.
Thanks god it's a lot of activity from South Europe
Sunday was better than saturday.
Worked only one *JA* station in the contest (20 mtr)
North Americans only a handful of them also in the log.
Next one will be CQ WW DX CW....cu in the contest...

Worst contest experience for me in many years... My new 2nd hand computer crashed 27 times during the 11 1/2 hour I was qrv...restart..restart again. Monday after the contest I was going to the computer shop and I was buying a BRAND new one. If some one give you A FREE Computer....say no...I don't need it... 👊👊👊👊

Once again thank you to hams around the world who take part in the Scandinavian qso party.. A lot of familiar calls in the log.. Only qrv on Sunday morning due to work on saturday. Conds was ok ,I think...limited antennas this time also. GP7DX vertical on 15/20 mtr and ob1/40 on 40 mtr. Find it very hard to have a run frequency...on ssb. Amp guy's killed my signal, a lot of qsy's for me.. But still have some fun...let's hope the sunspots will raise and the forthcoming cqww ssb/cw test will open 10/15 mtr... was making some qso's also in Makrothen rtty Contest also, 15 mtr open to East coast USA, A good sign. Ok cu all next year...

Only qrv on sunday morning.Due to work on saturday.
First time with a new logging program.
Started on cq on 80 mtr 0612z,what a mess...
Lot's of callers,fresh meat on the band ,I was not ready
for this,cw skimmer's read my Call and skimmers op's clicked
on it and a continious calling started, after 4 min.11 call's
in log, in this 4 minuts I have to restart my log 1 time.
After qso nr.3 with LY2CX everything locked down...
Fired up again...look's ok,moved to 40 mtr had a very good run
there for some time,but after 197 qso's the log start to lock
down again,this happen about 10 times during 30 q's..after 226 q's
I get message disc error....so closed everything and was thinking..
no more sac test for me...but started up again. and get disc error
message again...loaded the microham router again then the logging
program and everything looks ok and that it was,no more problem
for the NeXT 267 qso's...so cross my fingers and will run this logger
in the NeXT cqww cw test..thanks to all that called me...many familiar
Call sign from previous SAC contest..Hope see all of you NeXT year...
Maybe I can do a 20 hours test NeXT year...and end up with 1500 q's..
Best 60 minutes rate 121....average rate 90 q's/hour..
Conds was just average...similar to 2019 I think..
GP7DX vertical antenna Works great on 20 mtr.
Dipole North/South on 40 mtr....
Optibeam 11-5 still locked to 45* east...
No rotor change this summer either..
I'm to LAZY....Still looking for a New qth

Comments:

As a part of the ham radio contest community.
I decided to take part this year also....
But I find FT4/8 contesting  so brain dead.
It is so slow and boring. I have did a lot of FT8 dx-ing...
Well in other word ,my computer have did it,but I dont find it
interesting at all. This is the contest you not brag about Your
winning skill...it's all about how many black boxes you have...
SO2R....SO3R...in other Word..how big is Your wallet...

PC-CRASH 15 AUG 20

Sad story for ME....

computer crashed 15 Aug.

Was taking part in RDA contest

after 240 qso's the computer closed down

and I was not able to restart it..

Actualy it restart again and again and again 

in an never ending restart loop.....

Lost 130 qso's from SARTG ww Rtty contest also.

But no problem ,new computer is in house..

Microham device talks to radio and log-program.

Back in business....

Worst is..

Many Points lost in the National HF-cup also.
