Claimed Score: 576

The disturbances on the sun sure created some strange cndx for this
contest up here in the RF absorption zone. I can't recall any contest
that had activity on 15 and none on 20 but that's how this one was
here. When I checked 10 I heard one EU stn on the whole band EB5A and
wrkd him on first call and there was nothing more from EU. Sigs on 15
were there but below normal except for always loud RU1A - Armchair!

Mni tnx for so much nice QSOs and QTCs with/from all over the world ;-)
Conditions were not as good as last year.
Only a 2-ele-yagi, linear loaded dipole for 40m/80m and TS-850 on my side.
QTCs from VY2TT had been stopped due to weaker signals and strong QRM
after the 2nd QTC (changed /10 to /2).
WAE SSB is one of my favorite contests, hope to meet you next year (again).

This was my first-ever WAE SSB Contest. I had very little time to
operate this weekend due to family and other obligations. Sunday
afternoon was about the only available time and conditions were
not so good. I had trouble finding stations to work but finally
slogged along and got a few. Maybe I should have tried running
more than I did but stations were having a hard time hearing me.
Since I do not have a Beam and/or Amplifier, I could not point
towards Europe and blast out 1500 watts. I figured out how to
send the QTCs late in the afternoon, but by then I was too worn
out to send them. An aside; After reading some of the other
station?s reports, I should have tried the VHF Contest on 6-meter
FT8.

First time for me in wae ssb.
Expected a slow and most s/p contest,
anyway also had some good run times.
On Sat the propagation was terrible.
On Sunday somehow better, but signals were quite low.
~100 stations answered my call, but didn't pass a serial number...
~20 stations answered from Europe, to my call.
Thanks everyone for QSOs and QTCs.

Some sun-flares, nothern lights and aurora made the condx really
challenging and sometimes it was not fun. However, I could improve the
number of multis on the high bands and finally I was happy with my
result.

Claimed Score: 136971

The DX propagations weren't really good, but 10 meters is always
good for a surprise. Suddenly a weak signal appears out of nowhere,
gets stronger and stronger and is suddenly at S9+10dB or more.
It's VU2REC and we quickly make a QSO and 10 QTCs. After that his
signal gets weaker and weaker and suddenly it's gone. These are
moments in amateur radio that take your breath away.

Always very exciting to participate in this contest and distribute
control groups (qtc) gradually. Unfortunately, the sun decided to
launch its X-ray flares on Saturday (X4.5 intensity!), completely
forcing me off the air for 2 hours. No signal was coming in or going
out from the station. No CDXN beacons could be heard anymore. Just
terrible when you're trying to optimize your activity schedule on the
bands.
