Comment on contest NAC Microwave Contest de SM0DFP No reason to complain about poor conds. This was THE BEST contest on mikro I have ever made. It started off really well, PA5DD was staking out his frequency minutes B4 the contest start, and we had a short 559/559 chat and at T=0 we exchanged reports and then the fun started. Have always wanted to know what it feels like to be inside a wave guide. Now I know! It seemed that stations from all over had their antennas pointing toward Stockholm. The signal strength from some OZ and OH was BETTER than some local stations. For the first time I could enjoy being the object of a nice pile from OZ, DL and PA0. On 10G OH2BUF was 559 with the antenna in the shack pointing in the general direction out of the widow. This opening will go to the history books! _______________________________________________________________________ Contest: NAC Microwave Contest Call: SM0DFP Section: A Loc : JO89VL Date: 20010116 -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Band | TOTAL | QSO-POINTS | BAD | LOC-POINTS | QRB KM | | 1.3G | 35869 | 55 25969 | 0 | 33 9900 | PA5DD 1158 | | 10G | 2475 | 2 1875 | 0 | 2 600 | OH2BUF 361 | | MULTI | 2475 | 2 1875 | 0 | 2 600 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- Station description : 1.3G : 200W, 55el, preamp in antenna 10G : 5W, 60cm dish ----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G----1.3G---- DX Date Time Call Loc Bnd Mod QRB QTE 1 20010116 1800 PA5DD JO22IC 1.3G CW 1158 230 2 20010116 1933 OK2BFH JN99FN 1.3G CW 1105 177 3 20010116 2144 PA0BAT JO31FX 1.3G CW 1095 225 4 20010116 2020 PA0ZM JO32GK 1.3G CW 1051 227 5 20010116 2129 DC4BK JO43LA 1.3G SSB 903 221 6 20010116 2026 DK6AS JO52JJ 1.3G CW 901 212 7 20010116 1817 DJ8ES JO43SX 1.3G SSB 793 223 8 20010116 1831 DK1KR JO53HW 1.3G CW 757 218 9 20010116 1838 DL3TW JO44SK 1.3G SSB 753 225 10 20010116 1844 DL8UD JO44SK 1.3G SSB 753 225 Worked Locator JN99: 1 JO22: 1 JO31: 1 JO32: 1 JO43: 2 JO44: 4 JO45: 4 JO52: 1 JO53: 1 JO54: 2 JO55: 1 JO59: 2 JO65: 5 JO66: 1 JO67: 1 JO79: 1 JO86: 1 JO89: 3 JO96: 1 JO97: 3 JO99: 2 JP60: 1 JP70: 2 JP80: 1 JP81: 2 JP90: 1 JP92: 1 KO26: 1 KO29: 2 KP02: 1 KP03: 1 KP11: 1 KP20: 2 Worked DXCC PA: 3 OZ:11 OH0: 1 SM:23 DL: 7 OH: 4 OK: 1 YL: 1 LA: 2 ES: 2 ----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G---- DX Date Time Call Loc Bnd Mod QRB QTE 1 20010116 2104 OH2BUF KP20AG 10G CW 361 73 2 20010116 2110 SK0CT JO89XJ 10G SSB 14 134 Worked Locator JO89: 1 KP20: 1 Worked DXCC OH: 1 SM: 1 ----------------------------------------------------------- LOGGER 1.10 (http://welcome.to/logger) by Ulf/SM0LCB
