Just a part-time participation in SSB leg. It’s tough work even under good conditions. This time they weren’t great — even worse than during CW. The first 2-3 hours of the contest were good, butthe whole story…

I was curious, if the conditions will be „solar maximum friendly“ or „solar cycle declining friendly“. It was 50:50, finally. I was bothered by various ACOM 2000A miniproblems over years. I lost patience with itthe whole story…
