OH6QUSO HIGH 15MI don't like SSB contesting, that's sure. Normally I participate SSB contests just to give out some points and to do some experiments with my station. This time I was testing my newly built stack of three TH7DX tribanders. It was nice to see that antennas performed well especially when you need low take-off angles. With the help of this new setup I managed to work several stations from zones 3, 4 and 31 during the late Saturday evening & night via polar path opening on 15 M. A special thanks to WA6TQT, KH7M, VE6FI, NH6V, KH6J, NH6JC, VE5PV, KH6CJJ, K7ZS, W0AIH, W0CP and AA9A to realize that I wasn't from Asia but from EU and your patience to pull me out of noise. I was able to hear dozens of other US stations during the evening & night on 15 M but unfortunately they were doing S&P and therefore no opportunity to make QSO with them. The last US stations on 15 M were audible here as late as 23 UTC (02 AM local time). CU in CQ WW CW! Jari OH6QU & OG6A
