OL1RMULTI-OPNote of Mark OK1MV: This year from 1 year gap we decided to run again the SSB part. We never have many expectations on it. A lot of our friends recall phone part as a wasting o time of a contest for people without any mental health at all…HAHAHA. In the same way have so many others name and always asking why we do that. 1 member of group has been disposal of contest for some sickness, and we run on 4 people. As by expectations and due solar maximum the condition was fair and so many fading on signals. Saturday night we got in log only 1 JA a 1 BY. Our problem is 2nd night nice surprised by calling TO3, KP2, VY2 on my own freq. We had this time only 1 RUN 100%. I also have found there was heaps of time to jump on MULTI. The conditions have been so bad. I never thought I would be able to be asking to K1ZM about his call 50 times!! Sorry Jeff but it was tough for me!! On the end, nice social eve. Really great accommodation at the airport Hodkovice. I don’t think I will be able to do it again by myself. All works perfectly with no PA outage and antenna issue. Thanks to the whole Liberec Team for their efforts and time to be a part this year in CQ 160. See you next time at CQ WW from wherever.
