)
Miss Aurora began her show Saturday evening but this was excpected so I wasnt to depressed. I must however admit it was hard to start again on almost empty ands after my 3 hour nap late on Saturday evening. We are punished very hard up here when she decides to show her beautiful light.
73,s and hope to see you all in the CQWW SSB contest

Comments:
This was my first SOAB in WPX for a long time. The objectives were to beat
the norwegian record from 2004 as well as to beat Andreas LA8AJA operating
from LN3Z.
I think I managed both with large margin. But still I think I could do better.
Maybe it was smarter to operate 20m instead of 15m. I had hard time operating
15m, but I kept calling CQ there for hours. It looks like I have missed some
hundreds QSOs on both 20m and 40m. I think I could made over 3000 QSOs if I
focused more on these bands. Yet, it was great fun to be part of the contest.

Comments:
It looks like I have managed to beat my own Norwegian record from 2002, but with very low margin. I have received too few QTCs this time, and my multiplier is far too low, even though I have operated two radios. I need to focus more on finding multipliers next time.
The conditions to USA the second day were great but it was still very hard to work 15 meters most of the time. And 10m was dead as usual.
It looks like I had too low emphasis on low bands compared to others, I and missed too many multipliers there. And yes, 80m is very hard too work from here this time of the year.
I need to plan better for the low bands and select pauses at the right times. I lost a lot on 15m towards East, and on the low bands in the evening. Next time I will focus more on multipliers and not on the number of QSOs and QTCs.
But surely high speed QSOs and QTCs is what makes this contest so cool!

Not that great condx this year, but we still managed to make a decent score from the auroral zone. We lost 1 hour operating time due to thunderstorms. Better so than risking everything for a few QSO’s.
Thanks to all who called us.

Comments:
It was great fun to operate SAC CW from our club station again.
This year conds were great but I suspect there were far too many mults from the East compared to the last year. Our strongest side is to the West.
Since I focused too much on QSO numbers last year, I had to try to keep focus on the mults this year. As a result I lost at least 200 QSOs and got frustrated trying to QSY folks on 10m and 15m.
Tried very hard on 15m the first day, which put me far behind the best in the QSO numbers. So I tried hard to catch up and stayed too long on 20m. This made me one hour late on 40m and far more worse one hour late on 80m. I guess most of “just called to say hello” contesters went to bed when I showed up on 80m.
Anyway it is not possible to beat the Finns without fully automated mult station which does not prevent you from continue running the pileup on the run station at full speed. Not too mention the antennas and propagation. The trick is to move every single “just called to say hello” station from a rare country (which may even be EI, ER, ON) to every single band the first time you meet him. It would be so much easier if the other side also was interested in QSYing you for the mult. This is “one-way” contest.
I guess I will focus on the QSO numbers next year. It is so much more fun to work the great SAC pileups. Running the pileup at the high speed is what makes me interested in contesting after all.
Thanks again to all those who showed up in the contest to make this so enjoyable for us Scandinavians. See you next year!

Comments:
A Solar wind shock front from a coronal hole on the sun reached earth just in time before the contest started. The propagation from Norway was very poor during the whole weekend and 76% of my Qso,s were with EU stations! On the positive side 10 and 15 were wide open to EU both days. Despite the bad propagation I had a great time and only took a short nap the second night.
Cu all agn in the CW part. We will operate Multi Single from LN8W.
