It's impossible to be competitive
from the middle of big city so I
decided to do DX-ing instead, using
few available spoils like cluster and
an amplifier limited to less than 400
w by ALC driven by TV, entertainment
centres, computers and various
building appliances.

Friday night
conditions were unbelievable so I
couldn't resist starting calling CQ
and had few pretty good runs. Saturday
night band was covered with some kind
of white noise and I became an
alligator and am sorry if I missed
your call.
Later same happend to me
and I couldn't get through to the
stations coming from the West and
Pacific. Somebody said it was one-way
propagation. Missed both sunrises
staying longer in bed due to
cold.

Thanks for QSOs, see you all in
ARRL CW in February.
