SD made a decent job in the contest. Why did I get up in the middle of the night just to get thrown back into the bed by the very bad conds? After the first hour I didn't copy a single signal! |

USED SD FOR LOGGING. IT WORKED WELL, BUT I COULD NOT GET CW MESSAGES TO WORK. FUN CONTEST. THE SERIAL NUMBERS ARE A CHALLENGE. SOME EURO STATIONS ONLY SENT A 3-NUMBER SERIAL NUMBER, SO THOSE QSOS MAY NOT COUNT. HOPE TO DO THIS ONE AGAIN NEXT YEAR. |
