DK2BJASSISTED HIGHOnly searched some DXCCs. The reason: My magnetic loop (have a look at QRZcom/DK2BJ) has too narrow bandwide on the tuned frequency. So it is difficult to handle it trough a whole contest...
DK4ZZSINGLE-OP LOWNice contest. I was able to set up the antennas in beautiful weather. The 22 radials of 40 metres each had to be laid partly through bushes. I won't do it again in a T-shirt :-) In the other direction there was a field. There I was able to lay them quickl

EA6SXSINGLE-OP LOWGreat, Don't expect to do so much in low power. Band extension permitions on EA for contest (1810-2000), was really the key to find clear freq, and faraway of the big guns. Althoug the best way is to S/P on LP. I hear a lot of NA stations and Asia but they
