The idea of new QTH started after end of works on building of the family house. On the concrete plate I have built 16m vertical together with 32 pieces of 21 m long radials for 3,5 Mhz. Unfortunately, my sons was ill just before the contest, in the time of building of the contest site. So everything was done at the moment of the start of the contest… including myself. (see photo)

Friday morning started with immediately heat inside of the site container. Ham shack was build abovce the floor, there hasn’t been installed any thermal insulation yet. Saturday was extremly snowy, about of 30 cm of new snow falled on Saturday. Sunday had been rainy and it caused terrible QRM, 59 + 60 dB… There will be necessary to find the source of QRM to prevent those traffic outages.

But IC 706 MkII of 100 W works fine and a few nice DXs is now in my log. I am satisfied, as a lot of us, I believe. This contest is really the king of each other. Thank to everybody, who considered to participe in this competition.

73! Riki
