It was 10 over 9 most of the time, We built several receiving antennas that helped some, but there were still several layers of stations that were inaudible. Apologies to those who called in vain. The contest starts at 5AM local time in Tajikistan. The power went off at midnight the night before, and stayed off until 7:30AM, so the first ever Multi-Multi effort from the country started out for two and a half hours of operation with a single battery-powered transceiver! The EY2A operation was a wonderful team effort between contesters from opposite sides of the world. Those of us from the U.S. were privileged to experience Tajik hospitality. - N6ZZ |
