Comment on contest NAC Microwave Contest de SM0DFP All my equipment were temporary mounted in the 24m mast. It took me 3 days to prepare all cabling, fixing brackets, band switching etc. To take it down was only one hour... All rigs QRP. 13cm with 0,7W and a double dimond (10dB gain at best), 3cm 300mW and a 7dB horn antenna, 47G 30mW with 36dB antenna. The only station heard but not worked was OH3LWP on 13cm. It is vy hard to work NACMW without internet and the cluster, so mni potentially workable stations were missed. No QSO on 47G due to big problems to align antennas, even when trying on a shorter path with optical LOS. I had no way to benefit from the optical sight to OH/SM0EPO as the antennas were up in the mast. _______________________________________________________________________ Contest: NAC Microwave Contest Call: SM0DFP Section: A Loc : JP90JC Date: 20050726 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Band | TOTAL | QSO-POINTS | BAD | LOC-POINTS | QRB KM | | 2.3G | 4562 | 5 2062 | 2 | 5 2500 | ES5PC 484 | | 10G | 1295 | 1 795 | 0 | 1 500 | SM3BEI 159 | | MULTI | 5857 | 6 2857 | 2 | 6 3000 | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----2.3G----2.3G----2.3G----2.3G----2.3G----2.3G----2.3G---- DX Date Time Call Loc Bnd Mod QRB QTE 1 20050726 1945 ES5PC KO38HJ 2.3G CW 484 110 2 20050726 2017 SM4FXR JO79PD 2.3G CW 224 243 3 20050726 1850 SM3BEI JP81NG 2.3G CW 159 326 4 20050726 1919 SM5QA JO89WJ 2.3G CW 95 213 5 20050726 1832 OH/SM0EPO JP90WJ 2.3G CW 69 61 Worked Locator JO79: 1 JO89: 1 JP81: 1 JP90: 1 KO38: 1 Worked DXCC OH : 1 SM : 3 ES : 1 Not complete QSO 2010z:OH3LWP MODE: CW=100% PROP: TR=100% ----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G----10G---- DX Date Time Call Loc Bnd Mod QRB QTE 1 20050726 1853 SM3BEI JP81NG 10G CW 159 326 Worked Locator JP81: 1 Worked DXCC SM : 1 MODE: CW=100% PROP: TR=100% ----------------------------------------------------------- LOGGER 1.18 (http://welcome.to/logger) by Ulf/SM0LCB
