What a great contest! CQ WW always brings out amazing activity that speacially pleasantly than propagation is coming back and participate in such contest becomes more and more exciting.

Our aim was to break 8.0 M. As a result great job was done and 8,4 M. were made.

So no complains for first day with good US pile-up up to 5Z on 40 and long time propagation to JA on 20 and 15. Unexpecting US propagation on 15 up to 21z during 4,5 hours just added to us fresh energy. The second night was hard and not so intersting, US stations on 40 were enough weak except big-guns as usual. Despite our numerous attempts we could'nt create acceptable rate on 40 and spent a lot of time running EU on 80. 20 and 15 opens to JA about 5Z and we tried to work them on both bands.

Unfortunatly, we've lost 10 minutes US propagation and some Carribean multipliers 10 due to problems with amplifier.

Anyway, this CQ WW gave us a lot of pleasure and several important ideas concering strategy, which we are planning to realize next year.

See you incoming contest!
