I have take part at WPX SSB 2010 from San Marino Republic with my friend Giorgio IZ4AKS.

He has operated in SO20HP category and I have made my WPX in SO80LP category.

I have not a good experience about 80mts. I would thank to all members of A.R.R.S.M. for this great opportunity.

I made some strategic errors due to few hours of sleep.

But it was a wonderful contest, the setup was perfect: a full size 1/4 vertical for TX, 3 directional beverages (one for N-E dir., one for W-E dir., one for S dir.) for RX, my FT-950.

I have heard beautiful signals, in particular from USA during the morning daylights. I have made just few QSOs during the morning and first afternoon with Italian and German, I hoped better. Despite the excellent path to Asia,I was not able to log any JA. It was a pity!

Some graphs and numbers:

Time ON : 29:17 Hours
Time OFF: 18:39 Hours
