SV9/OH4FR : CQWW SSB Contest 2005 SOSB15m HighPower from Crete Island

The contest was a "One-man-show". I brought the whole stn to the north coast of Crete Island, by car.
That meant 5 days to go down, 2 days to set up the stn, 2 days contest, 1 day removal and another 5 days back
( Yes, I also had 3 weeks of sunny vacation in-between on the south coast together with my wife Maija.
Here I was qrv mobile.).Condx were not as bad as I feared with the sunspotnumber near zero (2300 QSOs).
Thanks to everybody who called me, I had great fun in the pileup!
