[Moon-net] ARRL EME

[Alex RU1AA]

Hello moon-net,
The first leg of contest turned out to be difficult for me.At the very
begining my antenna TX/RX switch (at the top of the tower) failed,then
Mirage B1016 came out of order. The rig(and me as well) are getting
older..The pain in my back did not permit me to operate sitting at the
table and CW . I must apologize for my absence on announced
frequencies .144 and .044. After some time I understood, that I should
work in "DIGITAL" cathegory,although CW is my favorit mode. At last I
managed to repair the rig and operated CW for 2 hours before the end
of the test with 19 QSO's, but the activity already was poor.
I'd like to thank all the people who found me and called, who replied
me.The score is 181-JT65,19-CW.
I hope to pay more attention to CW in the second leg , if I don't decide
to operate in CQWW CW, which I have never missed.
 As RU1A team will be very active and they will give me much QRM.
Once again many thanks to those people who called, replied and
may call me in future.
73 ,Alex
