ARRL INTERNATIONAL DX CONTEST SSB 2018

I took part only as test for new tribander, especially 3 elements on 40m.

First night finished with less than 50 QSOs in the log and without something,
what looked like pileup. Second and third night was much better, when someone
spotted me, pileps started. Every spot lifted my score up for about 20 minutes.
Then rates went down… A lot of splatters, most signals at QRM level.

Thanks to all who took part.
