OE9SEVSO LOW ALL2017
OG60FMULTI-ONESomewhat limited operation with two men and two radios. Propagation was a bit better than expected. We had a good US run on 20m on both days in the afternoon. Unfortunately band died here quickly and we didn't notice any decent over the pole midnight openings. 15m opened to JA on Sunday, probably also to USA but we decided to run on 20m. 10m was spotty, on Sunday there was an unstable opening to Europe. Very few DX here. Low band numbers suffer from the amount of multiplier/spare/non-sleeping operators. 40m was dissapointing, we never got any JA run and only short US run in the Sunday evening. Dupes ... we had lots of them. Totally 430 of them. We had runs where 9 of 10 qsos were duplicates! Guys, our call is not OG6ZF, OG6KF, OG60ZF, OG60KF or something else. OG60F is a special call for the 60th anniversary of OH1AF/OH1AB/OH1F. There is a special award available. Check the rules

OY9JDSO HIGH 40MI had put up a 1/4 gp GP with 3 radials just for fun at my summerhouse and used my old Yaesu FT1000MP Very nice QTH with no manmade noise but was very hard to find any clear freq due to all the very strong EU stations with very high power on the band so splatter was very bad
