The sun in the middle of the contest, besides the fact that only one active region was present, it is likely that the coronal hole CH262, was the cause of poor conditions on Saturday.

Personally, my most disappointing contest from NC, especially one month after an excellent ARRL-DX-CW. First it was the SSB, and those who know me know that this is not my preferred way, far from it! Then propagation conditions very average. Finally a lot of intangibles that have made it had to improvise "quick" a fallback solution, the solution provided originally laid (CN8MC Rabat) proved impossible (beam 40 and still unable to close of 5C8A).
That said, this contest has still earned good time, if not during, before and after for sure. For, despite the conditions, Mohamed and Jean-Luc is still able to receive good runs on 20 and 15m, but the higher bands are not bands "profitable" in this contest in which it is better to focus on low bands because of the recognition awarded to two multiplier QSO's on 40, 80 and 160. Unfortunately, unlike the CW contests, it proved impossible to hold a frequency, and consequently hold a decent run of 40. It is clear that faced with multi-KW's and big aerials competition our dipole 40 and our pair of 3-500Z proved too accurate. Hopefully the opening of 40 additional 100Khz by 2009 will help to solve the chronic problem of lack of space for SSB on this band, so that stations
do not have disproportionate means they can also enjoy, if only a little ... So we will consider this contest as the positive, ie and the kindness of Moroccans that are or are not amateurs, food, Guerrouane, time (we had left Geneva in the Snow!), good atmosphere within the group, and a memorable evening at the "pitch" (our favorite endoit Casa) W7ZR with Dick (aka 5C5Z). A special thank you to our friend and supported CN8PA Si Mohamed, without which we could devote ourselves exclusively to tourism. Indeed it was disassembled and the rotor A3S its pylon, to reassemble at the "beach house" and then repeat the maneuver in the other direction ...
