CQ WW WPX CONTEST CW 2022

The „NR?“ contest. Conditions were bad from my QTH. QRN, QSB and a lot of weak signals.

First two hours, usualy of the highest hour rates, was as driving with handbrake on this time. S/P for new mults was often much productive than CQ + S/P on R2 or even dual CQ.

Low bands were fine, but expected few 40m NA pileups didn’t take place. 20m was opened almost all the time, but not fully to any direction. 15m finally started to work, but 10m still only to SA.

Everything bad comes with something good. No points and mults from east, but significantly less bad signals over all bands.

Thanks to everybody who participated.
