IB9TSO HP 15MRun the contest with the only available antenna at damaged contest site: a single 5 elements with broken reflector. That was enough to have a lot of fun with no expectations for the result, but only the desire to back contesting somehow, after the long period of problems for freedom of movement due to the Covid-19 restrictions

IK1TTDSO LP ALLNice contest, lot of stations on every bands.... propagation was not booming but the high number of station in frequency gave as a result lot of fun.

IR4QSO LP 10M 7/25/2019
IT9VDQSO HP 10MThe race got off to a bad start @ IB9T contest site, with the wind having destroyed the 6el OWA for 10m a few days before! I thought not to participate, but the desire of CW, after so many months of forced QRT because Covid's law limitations, was too strong. Then, only a J-pole and our usual second yagi, a small 3 elements @ just 5 meters up the roof, not rotatable and fixed to North, were my available ?????úantenna farm?????Ñ! The first day was a real disappointment, with band closed already at 16:30 local time and very bad and really strange conditions: I saw on DXMaps that the North EU worked hard and we, in the South part, were in really poor conditions! I closed on Saturday with only 300 QSOs, seeing on Livescore that the best (in the north) had closed with more than 500/550 QSOs, something never seen in past years on 10m, here in IT9! Sunday started worse than Saturday, with the PC station dead at restart: luckily, an old CR2032 battery saved the situation and I was able to start around 08:00 local time. Completely different and funny day compared to Saturday, with the closing of the band around 19:30 local time and incredibly goos conditions for the tiny '3el fixed to North'. A good condition of Sporadic-E opened immediately, with furious pileups of stunning Europeans and some UA9/UA0, every now and then! The real surprise was the call by Mike VE9AA and later another couple of US from the East Coast and later NN7CW excellent conditions and, of course, deeply fluctuating signals. I took courage to go and chase some mults, going in search of PFXs calling and working USA, CX, PY, D4, PZ5, KP2 and several others nice DXs, always by a '3el 5 meters high and fixed to the North'!!! Also had some puzzling sporadic acts of deliberate QRM, as always, they did not bring any results. Fabulous conditions, closing with +1100 QSOs and great fun! One regret: who knows what could have been done with our usual 6el OWA, at 18 meters above the ground, as main rotable antenna...? Thanks everyone for QSOs ... Gi????, IT9VDQ
