Hi All,
 
Very nice activity during the 23 cm Dubus CW contest !
I missed most of the first moon pass due to family commitments but
there were still plenty of stations active on sunday.
Conditions were a bit hard for small stations like mine, with high
degradation and strong libration at moments. 
My own echoes were very weak most of the time.
I ended with 37 QSOs and 4 # , running abt 240 W at the feed of my 3.6 m mesh dish.
The last QSO was with I5MPK with the moon already behind my neighbour's tree !
 
Thanks to all for the nice CW QSOs, and especially to some very patient
operators who would not give up until we had completed after endless repeats...
 
I enjoyed this contest a lot, a big thank to the organizers of this fine event !
