Comments:

Big decision to be or not to be in this contest as M/2. A few hours before
contest Vendy called me by mobil phone and said me he had traffic accident. His
car is totaly broken, but he and TRX is OK :-) 

We decided to go contest despite of situation, Mr. Murphy, bad weather etc. So
we had 3 workplaces and 3 operators. It was on the top of our human capacity.
The score is total satisfaction to next time for our thinking about it. Again
probably achived new oficial Czech multi overall record. We stayed "only" 2Mega
points below last year ES9C oficial EU M/2 record. 

Anyway - broken rotor problem on 20m antenna has been fixed in the last hour
before contest. We had troubles also with main PA on 20m Saturday evening.
Probably capacitor destruction in output Pi network. Fixed after 2 hours. 

Propagation conditions on 20m were solid in all time. Sunday little bit more
short-skip Es activity on 15 and 10m band. Also thanks to JA4CUU, YE1ZAT,
BD4ALC and 7P8A for points on 80m Sunday evening.
