    What a contest!!!!

    I was preparing this contest for one year and spend hours and hours on puting
    up new antennas, coax cables, beverages and ......
    Everything was just ready in time (3 hours before the contest). That is why I
    did not get any sleep before the contest.
    My goal at the beginning was to increase my score from last year, but
    everything worked even better than expected.
    I tryed to make as much 3-point QSOs as possible even if the rate was somtimes
    going down (52% QSOs outside of EU).
    I missed some multipliers on the low bands and I need to improve my antennas.
    On 160M I heard many DX-stations I could not reach.( I have alredy some Ideas
    on how to improve my signal for low bands, .!!!)

    Still now I am very suprised about my score but I know that I even could do it
    better.
    I want to thank everybody who called in, especially all the multipliers.
    Also congratulation to my friends from WWYC CU2X, OH8X and NN3W for their great
    score.

    This was a real nice experience even if the last 3 hours were very hard as I
    was very tyred after 60 hours without sleep and signals.

    I am still a young contester with 27 and have still a lot to learn.

    This was our second entry in a RTTY Contest, as 2 operators were not able to take part we were only 3OPs to do M/2. 

    This was also the reason why the 2 stations were not always active. 

    Ops were Andy LX1DA, Willi DF8QB, and myself, 

    the  station worked realy fine without any problem during the contest, 

    cu next year hopefully with a bigger team and even a better result

    This was again a very interesting contest.
    Finally the new 5el Monobander on 20M is improving my signal and reception and
    I am very happy to see that the hard work during the last few month payed off.

    I had some problems with the 80M antenna switching an also lost some operating
    hours(2,5hours) due to problems with the computer.

    I am very happy to see that the gab between the big guns from Europe ES5TV OH8X
    UU7J 4O3A M6T is decreasing every year.
    Congratulation to their great score!!!

    I still have many Ideas and hope to promote Contesting in Luxembourg and give
    many more friends the possibility to be active from LX7I .

    Thanks also to all the friends I met on the air who always give me a call,

    This was my first entry in this contest. The station is still under construction and was not ready for the contest.

    I could not use all of my antennas and also worked only SO1R.

    10M and 15M were disapointing.

    Thanks for all who worked us in the contest.

    In comparison to the other HQ Stations we only made a few QSOs but compared to
    the equipment we used we did a great effort again to give out the LX HQ
    multiplier.
    We were active only from 2 different QTHs and had on all Bands except 20M and
    80M 1 Station for CW and SSB.
    At the contest station LX7I we operated for the first time with 5 stations at
    the same time.(staiton is designed for SO2R and M/S)
    I will upload some pictures in the next days on www.lx2a.com
