Only part time participation, due to my work.

Part time participation due to work duties, as usually. Good conditions recently and this weekend was not exception.

I wanted primary to test RX ANT during mornings towards NA plus relax style evening operations. I was surprised, band was quiet. I heard good readable signals from NA (often in the middle of EU bangs) and I was able to work some of them, but quite often without the answer. Some of US was of real 59!

This contest is about low number of stations posting their scores on both, online and 3830. Visible in CW leg after publishing of RAW scores. My opinion is, that it helps to increase activity and creativity. But it’s still not mandatory, so final decision (posting or not) is from „contest tactics“ category.

Hope to gave some useful points, especially to full-time sitting heroes, hi.
