One full week needed to get the station back in shape.   This included fixing both radios, the rotor and one of the PC´s.  I failed with the homebrew amp so ended up LP as last year.  The 40m Rotary DP (one half of a 40-2CD) played quite well and it sure was a thrilling feeling to have to rotate "something" to work a multiplier on 40!

I did not even try to break some of the huge packet pileups.  I would just put them into the band map and return to their frequency on a regular basis.  Sometimes I got them with the first call this way, sometimes not.  Seems odd that I did not hear/work more multipliers (zones) as I S&P´ed almost the full weekend.  Sure many regular AS/OC areas were missed due to the degraded high band condx.

As there was no pre-contest nap illusions on sunday evening got as bad as they can get.   One funny (?) moment was to hear someone transmitting DL1IAO 5NN21 on 40m.  I looked on the screen and found a G3 12 minutes ago as my last contact, probably on CQ.   I sent out a report and hear TU YI9OM - uggh.  That´s one of the few incidents cutting down my operating time to about 46 hours!
