Just at the end of a very hot and dry period we were lucky to have excellent weather conditions for the May-contest! We took the chance and put up the big array of 8x6ele yagis. It worked fantastic. Conditions on the band seemed to be quite normal at the beginning but improved of Sunday morning. Some contesters in ON/PA and perhaps JO31/41 could even work down to EA1. But no signals in JO40. But we were lucky to get two LAs into our log.

QRM situation was as good as very seldom. There were a fewer stations QRV around us, and we enjoyed it.
