This contest was a little bit below our expectations. Especially on 23cm we felt conditions to the east being rather bad. While the ODX of 853km was quite OK compared to previous contests, we missed the “flesh” below that, with some more QSOs to JN99 in the 800+ km range, as we normally have. We cannot remember to have worked more G-stations than OKs ever before. Unfortunately, the Gs can only partly make up for the loss we suffered in the east. On the other bands, results were more or less average, but with a nice number of 3cm QSOs in the absence of rain scatter, thanks to good activity. The ODX on 70cm to EA1-land was also a nice surprise, although the signal was only barely audible. Weather was rather bad with strong winds and some rain during the contest time.
