Great contest! My first SOAB 48 hours in several years. Usually operates MS from LA8W. We are still working on the new QTH at LA8W, and it seems like we are on the right tracks….. Low bands were pretty bad, but 20 and 15 was amasing!
Anyhow, strange to work 1000+ QSOs on 15 whilst not even a weak signal on 10. I guess that is part of the deal being located well inside the Auroral Zone. We need a separate class: propagation challenged operators. Looking forward to see you all in CQ WPX SSB, were we will operate MS as LN8W.

As ususal the propagation from Scandinavia was not the best. A coronal stream
arriving just before the contest started was causing disturbed conditions the
entire weekend.
Had lots of fun anyway with big rates into Europe especially on 10 and 15.
Also enjoyed som nice openings into North America and Japan on 20.
Worked mostly Europe on Low bands with some NA openings on 40.

Next operation for me will be from OJ0LA Market Reef in the end of August

Wish you all a nice summer !

Big thanks to Don AA5AU for his tutorials on RTTY.
