12/14/2009 | SM4IVE This was really fun! Last time i paticipated was 1996.
looking back at the QSO rates back then like 1994 i made ~140 qsos.
In 2009 i participated in Dec part,( my dish was not ready before)
And was om from 00.00 to moon set on the 5th, i noticed that it was VERY bad activity from US. Then again from moonrise on 5dec until moon was due 180 deg, my PA blew all the fuses in the incoming 380 AC
and i had to go QRT i was to tired to start reparing,at 07.00 i went from bed and started to repair the screen/bias supply, and i was QRV again for my moonrise on 6 dec.Sadley i missed a whole window towards US, Missed a couple of stations that called me but dissapered, VE2ZAZ,RA3LE and a couple more.
I hope that the contest will contiue in this way, no assited mode and separate classes.
