The whole trip was again a great success and we enjoyed time being together. Fourth year in a row from Corsica as TK0C and third year as M/2 in a field day style. Pre-contest goals were to have fun, improve QSO/h rate and reach at least last year score. The fun we had, best QSO/h rate was improved to 573 QSO/h, but with "clean sun" we fail to reach last year result. Tnx ES9C, EC2DX and others for nice online competition. We never had a chance to relax. We encourage everyone to post score @cqcontest.net and give more F1 dimension to the competition. In general, no sunspots resulted in amazing low bands, but poor 15m and non-existent 10m condition. Compared to 2017 we logged almost 1000 QSO less on 15m, but 100 more on 160 and almost 500 more on 80m. On 40m there was just one QSO more compared to the previous year.

The fantastic result made by the TK0C team proves that they are gathering all the needed ingredients. What would it be with a better sunspot number? Hats off guys !! BTW I didn't think wireless radio could need so many cables and wires.
