Comments:

Good opportunity to give the clubstation´s new tribander a test run.   With 1470 QSOs the first day I was in line with the planned numbers but knew that chances for fading propagation were high on Sunday.  The next morning was painfully slow with fewer and weaker JA´s and the band opened about 2 hours late to NA.  As eastcoast signals recovered nicely it´s a bit hard to understand why the QSO rate remained low for most of the afternoon.  On Sunday zone 3 has been logged only once.

With DF9ZP, DK3DM and DL8UD on the same band, this was a lot of fun.  The 40m wires were neat when stations were calling off the beam pattern.

Thanks to DK9IP for the linear!
