It was our first serious participation in this contest and we were very disappointed in our result .

A lot of job will be waiting for us during summer in order to arhieve success in next CQ WW 160 meters . Actually, nothing to do without beverages and good transmitting antenna.

Unfortunately, the propogation to USA in the northen Europe was too poor , especially during first night. We were calling V47KP, TI1C and YS1X without responce and missed many others DX stations which , I believe , we didn't even hear due to absence DX-Cluster and beverages.

Hope to be back next year with good hardware.

Arno, RV1AW
