Comments:
Had a great time this weekend, and finally some opening on 15m to Japan and even manage to work ZL1BYZ on 15m. Great suprise. We managed to follow the other big guns first day, but we had a drop in rate 3-4 hours before sunrise – wich we normally have -leaving us behind. I also think OH and SM stations have an advantage concerning propagation to JA/ASIA on 15m with an earlier sunrise – and having the opportunity to work longer on those bands than we more to the west. (We would have the same advantage to NA the other way – but no condx on 15m this way on Saturday from our QTH)
2 operators is to few to make a real maximum effort, but we did our best. I had to work in between the contest, leaving us with no multiplier station. Staying awake at work was almost impossible…. 10m didn`t pay off for run station, so we spoilt some 10 minute periodes there with little respons.
SAC is a lot of fun, but I hope we could change the rules more like Russian contest putting SAC in one weekend for both cw/ssb and mixed mode. The previous rules had SAC going for 36 hours, and I would like to see this again. The ssb contest next weekend match RTTY CQWW same weekend, and we also need to get this time changed. (Loosing MANY to the rtty contest) But LN3Z will be in there SAC ssb next weekend…despite RTTY contest. Cu then.
