Hi Joop! Yes what a pity we didn't manage a contact - I do remember a very weak signal that I couldn't copy. Conditions for the 3 weeks I was operating in SV8 were pretty poor with very deep QSB every day on 20m and 30m. I also had a high local noise level that made things even more difficult. My operating time was reduced by thunder storms on a couple of days and when we arrived I couldn't put up my antenna due to a day of extremely high winds that did a lot of damage in the local villages. We also had three earth tremors, two were small but one gave us quite a big shake!
Logged 293 contacts - mainly EU, but did get one with Hide - JR5XPG with a 589 report which came as a very big surprise.
