Finaly we arrived at the 28th July around 16:00 UTC at our contest location: Eshaness Lighthouse.

After unloading the car I first installed a G5RV to be QRV. My first QSO was with CU4T (HB9CRV). Then I made a couple of CW QSOs and tried a bit RTTY to see if the equipment is working.

On Frieday morning I went on 17m and called CQ in SSB. The rates were not really high, but it was a steady flow of QSOs. Sabine came in to see if everything is okay. Because of this nice interuption I decided to try to call CQ in CW on 17m. I did some major CW contests from our clubstation in CW on my own and I had practised a lot with morserunner, so I thought that I was well prepared.... But after 1min I was back on the floor: An increadible pileup has started and it was really difficult for me get all those stations. After 30 min and 47 QSOs I QSYed again to RTTY. This was realy more than I expected and enough for the first time.

Unfortunately the next time I was QRV as MM0LON was the late sunday evening. DL7VEE begged that I should do some RTTY. So took my cable for the soudcard with me and tried some RTTY. I did about 142 QSOs on 20m/17m/15m/12m this evening. Never thought of having a pileup in RTTY. Most of the time I was just watching the monitor to see if I can catch a part of a callsign. Very difficult if 5 stations are calling at the same time. But I hope that I made enough RTTY QSOs so that at least some people are sattisfied.
