NQ4JSO HP ALLAll remote operating to my home station. It was a busy holiday weekend visiting family out of town. I did not get much on the air time. Glad to use our club call and give out a pretty rare prefix. You will see NQ4J in the next contest

NS9RCSO LP ALLMissed goal of 1000 Qs. Conditions were bad in a couple of spots, with flutter even on 40 meters. Best runs were on 40 meters. Best score this contest
NU2ASO LP ALLPlan was to operate at 40m position from NR4M at M/M category, but the plan changed just few days ago because some operators got covid at Dayton. So, the M/M participation has been canceled and I decided to play SO AB LP from home. A good opportunity to test my recently installed Hexbeam antenna. Propagation was below expectations as bands were really hot days and weeks before the contest, but we got high Kp index (4-5) this weekend and solar flux has plunged from 160 down to 99 in just a few days. Despite the lack of Russian prefixes, my score was better than last year, so I suppose the Hexbeam works well!
