Comments:
Heavy storm passed over southern Norway saturday evening, forced us to take a few hours off air. All antennas survived, but needed to do fix one of the support lines on the Titanex vertical on sunday morning. Last time we EVER gonna do low band cqww without beverages antennas – boy it was hard to pull out anything on 160/80 meter. Sorry to all we could not pull through. These antennas will be qrv for the cw contest.
We knew 40m was our poorest band. Had a decent run on NA sunday morning QSX, but it never really took off. OUr brand new full size 40m yagi is on the ground yet, but for next season it`s gonna be another story. Crowded 20m
but lot of fun there. 15m very good for picking multipliers, but never gave anything for run here. 10m band almost completely dead, even though we spent of time monitoring for multipliers and even tried a few 10 minute with run
station.
Well – thanks to everybody and cu in the cw contest in a few weeks.
