Comments: 
 This year’s score is pretty close to 2013 score from 3V8BB station well equipped with monobanders and good radios. At 3V8SS, a tribander has been used along with a 40m GP and an Inv-V for 80/160. Both were re-fixed for better performance on CW legs one week ago. Radios? A single TS450s with 500Hz CW filter, poor dynamic range! Far from being the best radio for such event!

Preparation for the contest also included shifting the “go-to-bed” hour gradually from 00 to about 21. This has enabled me (for the first time) to have
4 hours sleep before contest start and more than 45 hours of operation.

At H-23, I made QSO number 3000. Low bands were very generous this time.
However, propagation was behaving strangely on high bands. 10m was very selective and expected to at any time. Strange that 15 and 20 close almost at the same time.

I’m very thrilled with the result achieved from this little pistol. Thanks to each and everyone for the QSOs. Congrats to the winners and see you in the next one “inshAllah”!
