It will be a single band 20 meters effort from the Lista QTH of LN9Z. Lista is one of the southernmost QTH’s in Norway, if not the one. Jan Almedal LB1G will run SB 40M, signing LA9Z from the same QTH.

We are leaving for the QTH tomorrow afternoon. I will try to get some good sleep before the contest, but since single ops are only allowed 36 hours out the the full 48 sleep shouldn’t be a problem. I might get too much sleep though :-)

Looking forward to work you in the contest.

First an amplifier during the SAC CW contest, then a radio before CQWW SSB, and finally the 20M yagi during the contest.

All these things led to no M/S participation in the CQWW CW 2009 contest. LA9VDA worked around 700 contacts from the station while trying out his new radio.

We’ll return with more activities next year.

Murphy struck this year with antenna and rig problems. A flu didn’t make things any better. After the 20M yagi failed on Sunday, I quit at 14Z.

What are the odds? Congrats to LN9Z(Jan LA9HW, op) for a fantastic SB160 score and thanks to Team LN3Z for yet again inviting Murphy to their place for the WW CW weekend. Giving us time to contest in peace :-) Memorable moments: Called by KH7C Hawaii on 160m. CE0Y/SM6CUK whispered in on 20m for a double. Called by HS0ZDY on 80m for a double mult when only 9 minutes left of the contest. Plus many more that not comes to mind... We had lots of fun but enough is enough - give us flux, now! Thanks for all the QSO's. Bjorn LB1GB & al. LN8W 3830
