That was a hard CQuing with 100W output power, especially on 40m. “Big Guns” always stole my frequency :-) and some low power stations started to call on the some frequency, because they did not hear me at all. A huge chaos… Anyway it was a great experience for me and I worked a lot of rare stations with my 100W and a piece of wire. I got started at DL0TUM having a good beam for 10-15-20m. After a couple of hours many OPs complained about my modulation and I discontinued the contest. I went home, switched on my TRX again and made a lot of nice DX QSOs with an approximately 8m-long wire. I have just been forced to exchange my brand new pilot headset for a handmike… So, North and South America, Africa, Indonesia, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and VQ9 came in my log. Of course, I missed the beam used before, but that was a great feeling, after I passed through some tough pile-ups with my mangy station. On Sunday I took a rest and only made a couple of QSOs in the evening.
