Comments:
Third very satisfying M/2 operation from OK1RI/OK1RF station. The party starts to stabilize, OM5AW could not come but OK1DO came so a good number (5) ops were present and we all had a great time ! Everything worked just fine – no Murphy visits ! Just late during the contest we realized how good the propagation really was, how long into the night 20m was open, etc. Amazing was we could work USA on 10m !!! We made only one contact just for the thrill of it, it did not made any sense in M/2 operation to try with more, but we could hear at least 15 Ws, maybe the maximum is on the way ! Congratulation to all the guys who finally broke my 10 years old SO/AB EU record, I was not around (well as SO) this year to try once more. The propagation was of course far away from what we had in the memorable year 2000, but since the prefixes are popping up like crazy, the final scores are improving too. As I believe most of the EU records will fall this year.

Thanks for a QSO and finally as always some data:
