George, Claude thanks a lot!
I've been recovering from a tough flu so I've decided to go in a "light" category "Classic" with a limit of 24H. That was not easy since I couldn't use cluster and a second radio. That has dramatically reduced multiplier and the final score. Also I've missed few openings on 10m.
The main task was testing of new antennas: 4L 20m at 24m, 2L 40m at 23m and 4L 15m (fixed to EU) at 21m. They showed up a big improvement comparing vs the old small SteppIr DB-11 at 12m and a simple 10m vertical I used before for these bands. So I could keep now a running frequency on 40-20-15 meters. Even on 40m! The best one hour rate was 247 q/h on 15m at 13-14z on Saturday.
The propagation was very good on 40-20-15. There was very tough on 160 and so-so on 80. Anyway there was a lot of fun as usual. )))
73!
Victor
