The Aurora, dancing across the sky, in beautiful green and violet colours, is something else to see. Unfortunately however, it wreaks havoc to propagation, contest or not.
The Aurora factor soared to a 9 (out of 10) for most of the CQ WW SSB weekend.
Such is life at 65°north.
As a result, conditions were very spotty up here, on 20 meters. No real runs to speak of, just short bursts of Q´s. The great Rhombic antennas, and the rest of the fine station at TF4M, saved what could be saved in this contest. Thor has built a super station in west TF land, and it is yet to shine, given good propagation.
However, it was great fun as always. CU in the CW part : The CQ WW rules !
