12/06/2006 | NP3CW Propagation during the contest to my area was very bad.The noise was less than on the SSB 160 mtrs contest.I was lucky to work KV4FZ in USVI, HI3A Julio in Dominican Republic and PJ2T. No station heard from North America this time.Used a dipole antenna with only 100 watts. Need to improve my antenna and also the power.I was not able to work many hours because of family problems and had to travel out of the city. My lowest score on a contest.Hope to break this score next year. Thanks to the 3 stations that worked me.Is a different sensation when working stations on this band. Hope to find more stations next time.
Best 73 es Dx to all,
