LZ7AM2We have experienced good conditions on Saturday and not that good on Sunday. Apparently we've missed some mults first day and couldn't get them on the next day. Thanks to our hobby gets spectacular for broader audience. We would like to thank its creators and supporters and encourage hams to register and use it. It's use brings sporty spirit to the competitions with live scores and ranking visible real-time. We took part in an epic Balkan competition with the colleagues from Red Forrest SZ1A, we swapped positions few times and finally and hopefully we finished just a foot ahead of them. We fell a foot behind and couldn?t draw level with the team of LZ5R. Further up in the scoring and with better location than us the team of HG7T was chasing SB8B with better propagation to the Americas. Overall we had a rewarding first day and somewhat irritable second day and we had lots of fun with contacts to so many stations from all over the world, like on a parade
LZ8ZSO LP 20MRIG FT-857D, ANTENNA SOTABEAMS LINKED DIPOLE FOR 7/14 MHZ
M0TEFSA LP ALLA great weekend to build on CW skills and give away some points
M3WSO HP 40MThe first 24 hours were good but then conditions plunged with the effects of a solar flare. Very few 6 point contacts on Saturday evening and Sunday morning
M5ZSO LP 20MK3 100w, 5 meter wire put in balcony tuned with K3's internal ATU, Win-Test My plan was to go to GJ and operate as MJ5Z but have to cancel a trip. Instead I operated from home for just couple of hours on Sunday, during taking care of my 10 month old son. Not a bad propagation as I heard big guns sending 2k - 3k numbers and I did not get many request for repeat. Thanks to Bernd Vk2IA, for leaving me a Cathay Pacific headphone at WRTC 2014 as it is very useful this time! Thanks everyone for QSOs! 73 Kazu M5Z, M0CFW, JK3GAD
M6WSA LP 10MMany hours of just silence. I guess the sporadic-e was well, sporadic!

M8CSO HP ALLMost operating done during Sunday. The geo-magnetic storm was an interesting challenge. Compensated by the great Sporadic E conditions in the evening, including multi-hop to the USA on 10m
