02/24/2003 | JH1AEP I enjoyed ARRL DX CW contest.

I builded up a new 3el full size yagi for 40m.
And, I started to try to new Asia record for 40m single operator.
But, I could not reach the record.
Finally, I scored 561 QSO's 1683 pts 53 multi = 89,199.

1st day, I had a noise from start to around 09Z.
So, very low rate QSO's that time.
But, after 09Z, I was called from many NA.
2nd day, I had no noise from start at 06Z.
But, condition changed frequently.
I enjoyed long path both morning.
Especially, VY2ZM was new multi for me at 2nd day.
He sent good signal to Japan through the long path.

Thank you and see you next contest
