Here is my report from KO09cx
Nordic VHF meeting was this year on weekend 11-13.6 in western part of Aland, Eckerö (JP90). In MWS list there was big demand of KO09 and because this square was so near,on the way to the meeting, I decided to make short visit. So, already on Wednesday morning, I drove to ferry and after 4 hours, Sture OH0JFP was waiting in Aland with his friends to show good qth for pedition. On ruins of old castle, above small trees, take-off was excellent to south, south-west only hundreds of km water. Big suprise after eastern and northern peditions was that the stations were so near. Pile-up was huge during first hours.

To the south, south-west only water

When everyone seemed to hear me so well,I was wondering why so many stations were calling me all the time,no mather what I was sending. Typical bursts were 400-700ms,5-7dB and many, screen full of them. Now I loosed lot of time when scrolling window up/down or mouse-clicking every item, trying to find right station although I used always RIT and reduced tol to 200 or even 100. During first 24 hours, got 105 qso's.

I'm sorry I couldn't work more,all the stations I heard. Conditions were quite good; however on 12.6 Thursday strong wind caused problems making upper yagi turning and I used only one, lower yagi till Friday morning. I had also good luck.After closing down on Friday 11.6 afternoon, started rain with static noise. When I had antennas down in heavy rain,became thunderstorm.On open cliff al-mast and antennas up during thunder..
