This was quite a weekend.

In traditional style – was the necessary preparations completed in the last
second. We got a 5 element wide spaced mono band 10m, and at least a 4 square
vertical for 40m. (Thanks to Peter LA7QIA) Everything worked perfectly.

It was a big rally, even though I was nervous for the antennas and the masts
would go over when we had very strong winds on Sunday afternoon local time.
Antennas and towers fared well in hurricane gusts. The trees lay over the whole
area around my QTH. Typically we will have extreme wind just this weekend.

At 1745z was what we feared most. Murphy popped up again! We lost power
throughout the area. This happens very rarely here. We were without power for 3
hours – in the best NA run of 15m. I think we lost at least 300 qsos on this and
it is very depressing not to have the max when we had so little time left in
contest. This is absolutely the last time we run cqww contest without a backup
generator – for if nothing else and keep ONE transceiver and amplifier going.
No matter – yet well that the power cut came so late, and not early in the
contest.

We are extremely pleased with the results despite the power outage. The high
bands were super, and we will remember the super 10m run to NA quite a while
Never ever managed to work so many multipliers either – just fantastic.

The goal before the contest was 5000 qsos, and to turn the Norwegian record in
M/S class. We achieved both by a wide margin ….

No major problems in this year’s big happening cqww cw. It pleased me greatly,
because we have had enough to contend with in the last years edition.
Conditions were very good first day, and we had some great openings to the
Pacific and W6 / 7 on 15 and 20m.
Hardware worked great even though we had the snowstorm much of the weekend. We
are more than satisfied with the IC-7700 on the run station.
LN8W beat us this year again but we are closer than before. The motivation to
get closer still has not diminished after this weekend’s contest. We really
gave 100%, so all fees to “the whiskey team” that makes us stretch as far as
possible – every year.
Thanks for a great weekend.

Great condx on 15 and 20m.

First time we did not worked in M/S class due to different reasons. Played
around alone with my brand new IC-7700, and had a good time. SOAB means 100%
dedication, but a flu with fever forced me to withdraw from a full time effort,
and the throat did not cooporate at all. 12 hours offtime

Cya in the cw portion, with more operators (M/S) and 100% effort.

What a blast….Great condx on all bands..cant wait until the cw contest. Working KH7XS on 15m and FY5KE on 10m to mention some great moments…. Saturday better than sunday here due to GMF activity a few hours on saturday evening….but we are used to much worse propagations than this. Murphy either showed up this time, and everybody had a good time. Cya in the cw contest in a few weeks.
