Comments:
Yeahh, propagation returned back?!! Almost as during old kind times when trees were big and etc.. :)) The All times M/S record of Europe (10.9 million points) has been established in 2001 by a 9A7A team, and this year many leading european clubs have more.
We have in our log 15.2 million, such results did not dream fathers and grandfathers, for us it is too the big unexpectedness. 20m open 24hours, 1350 NA stations (300 on 40m) from 5200 QSO, 250 JA, 1270 mults.
Thanks RU4HP and UA1CUR, they have considerably strengthened our team. We had enough operators that all 48 hours of the contest were normal RUN (at times in two operators on one RUN frequency when one listens only to the European direction, and the second - all other directions), and normal S&P (1-2 operators on same band where CQ, 1 operator on multiplayer station on another bands), and also it was possible to have a rest time.
One more big pleasure - is literally during time of contest has been finished 3 El Yagi on 80м, full-size, rotary, Up to 40m. To CQ WW coming soon one more new projects, among which many different elements Yagi, basically on low bands..
Thanks a lot for QSO and see you in IARU contest.
