Comments: 
The dust has settled and here is the score from LX7I @ CQ WPX RTTY 2014.

First of all thanks to Philippe LX2A who let us use his fantastic station in Luxembourg again! 

After winning the M/2 class last year we were highly motivated to add up more points this year. The reality was that the lowband conditions at night seemed to be a lot weaker than 2013 and we continuously felt behind last year’s targets.  With sunrise and the big highband antennas in play we were able to dig our way out of the deep hole and we actually got some 270k points ahead till ….. yes till all of a sudden al antennas had fall down or propagation was down again! We checked on the antennas and everything was still in place – so it must be the conditions again at play. It was very long period for the Operators from 1900z day one till 1400z day 2 where you sit in front of the radio and no matter what you try … QSOs are just NOT piling up as they supposed to do.  At night the storm took down one of the verticals from the 80m 4Sqare. With 4 Ops on site at the time – no chance to get this repaired at night. We were running on a low dipole most of the time on 80m. The 4 square got its
  repair job by the light of the day. 

We had a havy storm, heavy rain with terrible statics, propagation hickups and finally snow! The team stayed put and we finished slightly under last year’s QSO Numbers.  Thanks to the great team for all the effort in difficult times and thanks to all the callers!
