WAEDC CW is my favourite one, QTCs are the best!

This year many things worked very well, like finding new QTCs and Mults on the
2nd radio. There were more QTCs available than ever before! My portable
2R-station worked perfectly, not sure what to improve here. On the downside
station setup was late as usual on Friday evening, so there was only time for a
short nap after a busy week.

DL6FBL (@DR1A) seemed to knock down anybody else when he dropped his call into
the DX pileups. So yesterday one of the locals asked what kind of hardware
upgrade would be required to get us anywhere close. I think I answered
something like "5 more towers and 10 monobanders" - check out their M/M website
;-) Good job, anyway.

Whatever scores will be showing up I thoroughly enjoyed to be part of the game
and I hope this fine station will be fired up again for the next one!

Congrats also to IR4X (IZ3EYZ) for being back and turning in a very good
effort.


73 & TNX for the QTCs,

Stefan
