Comments:

Great Contest, very bad weather. My YL and I were on a camping place on Borkum EU-047. I had to lower my glasfiber mast so that it will not break in the wind. Station TS-480 100w, 9m Glasfibermast, SG230 tuner and 4 radials (each 10m long) somewhere on the smal piece of ground that we had for our tent. 
We had lot of rain and very strong winds. The glasfiber mast could not be left unattended because it collapsed a few times. Lots of rain and especially the
sand makes it a bit unsafe.
And now we also need a new tent. One of the supporting glasfiber bars is broken, the stitching of the tent is damaged at some places and after the first night we already needed some new ropes to tighten the tent because the piece that is responsible for adjusting the rope length was broken. Never had so much bad weather during an IOTA Contest.
I was QRV the first 8 contest hours and on sunday morning from 5utc until 9utc. Next time I have to spend more time on 80m to collect some more mults. Nothing heared on 10m and only one signal on 15m during my 12h contest time. Very difficult to find those needed IOTA Mults. Seems that more IOTA stations use SSB than CW.
