Only a small contribution this year. Had a good night’s sleep of 6 hours and stopped a little earlier, too, as I had visiting guests (my birthday today 
). Anyway, always big fun to operate in the Worked All Germany contest. Nowhere else are you able to run good rates as an average German station on HF. 😉 And once again CW only as I still haven’t found the time to assemble a voicekeyer for the remote … oh boy. 🙁 😀
Conditions were surprisingly good, 15 m opened well into North America, some really loud Mid-West stations as well as a few South-West W7’s on the band! Let’s keep our fingers crossed condx will hold until next weekend’s WWDX-SSB, might be fun then! 😎
