I lost rotator position control. Spare part was delivered just on Friday afternoon before the contest and I didn’t have time to climb to tower to repair it. I decided to prefer of enjoy of the contesting in front of the tired man, hi. So SOSB 80m HP was the choice. Unfortunately 80m dipole in parking position is beaming 90° out of NA.

Conditions were interesting, quite high number of QSO compared to operating time, but low number of 3-points. Few nice pileups of rates over 300 QSO/h (last 10 QSO). Band was covered by permanent QRM of S9 spletters and most of signals was a bit over this QRM. Few stations of wide signal, using for cleaning of the surrounding of its CQ frequency…

Thanks to all participants. See you in CW next month.
