The propagation was quite good on saturday with good weather conditions but unfortunately on sunday morning the conditions got worse due to a storm that passed very close to us and causing s7 to s9 qrn toward NW and N directions; we lost several qsos otherwise our previous record would have been broke; at the end we were lucky because we hadn’t thunderstorm over us.

The first hour went with 83 qsos followed by 78 qso and 57 qsos in the second and third hours.
We know that July is not a DL contest but we compensated with a good number of OK stations.

In Balkan countries July is Tesla Memorial Contest and we are always happy to beam to east to reach YU-LZ, always in 2019 we have good contacts there, unfortunately only 1 station from SV despite last year we had 4.

Unexpected, we had a really good tropo opening on saturday to EA3 and EA5, probably one of the best ever for us at IQ5NN where our takeoff to W is not the best; we completed 9 qso with Spain !!
