Comment on contest NAC 1.3GHz Contest
Lots of “MS-pings” on signals from south (DL4DTU, JO60 and DL6NAA, JO50). Probably lightning scatter from a thunderstorm over Berlin-area about 300 km south of my QTH.
But strong radar from south mixing with signals from SK7MW (also south) made it very difficult to work stations in this direction.
Missed 500 very easy points. Didnīt notice until after contest that I had not worked my own square! And there were at least two stations QRV....
