(40) 3el M2 Yagi @20m + DP @10m

Due to heavy snow falls we had to cancel our trip to my parents where
antennas are still down.

I wanted to get to the clubstation in time. But the car drive on icey
roads seemed to take forever and the doorlock was frozen over. The only
way to get in was to climb over the burglarproof presentor and to build
a little pulley which was used to lift up the Pro3, notebook and
cablebox.

So, as every year, things got pretty late but the contest went well.
40m would have been good enough for hitting it earlier. But on the other
hand it was so crowded that it seemed impossible to pick up the weaker
stations. Maybe it is just time for a real NVIS antenna.
