Uff... bad bad bad conditions. Very very hard job.
Crowdy low bands, empty 10m. 15m opened to US east coast just for few hours
sunday. 20m were vy croudy, no way to have a decent run.
Finally we have a 40m antenna so it's nice running a little there. 160/80m
vertical new radial system seem to work fb.
Some tecnical problem (PA, switches, PC) didn't help... we lost 3 hour of
multiplier chaising a some 15+15min of run the second night. Our noisy suburban
QTH keep us as in "fog" on 160m where is always very hard to listen.
Nice to be called from FY5KE on a 10m dead band... 15 minutes of run sunday
afternoon, just that qso.
2 stations on as always:

RUN          MULT
FT1000MP -   IC761
AL1500   -   TL922 (AL1200 KO...)

Filters dunestar, stubs, switches boxes by IZ4EFN.
