I tested new HW: OptiBeam rotary dipole and UltraBeam UB ONE rotator. Everything started to cooperate just few hours before the contest. Unfortunately, no RX antenna in my ANT arsenal. In the times of „big guns only“ on the band is RX ANT the base thing.
 
First night was a bit better to NA than second one. I spent a lot of time in CQ, because I was deaf without RX ANT and I wasn’t able to read of some DXs (it means: mults…).
 
Thanks to all who called me and participate on this big session.
