Conditions? NO! Activity? NO! Only one DL-station and lower activity than normal from OZ. The local activity in SM is at zero-level, nearest station QRV was SM6ESG at 168 km! Heard nothing from SM6EAN and SM1. Didnīt know that SM4DHN was QRV, so did not turn the antenna in that direction. I agree with SM0DFP that it is hard to work 23 cm at the same time as 13, 6 and 3 cm. I have had the problem for at least 10 years now. But Iīm not sure that splitting it into two contests is wise. I donīt have a solution to the problem. But itīs a fact that every contest you miss some QSOīs on 23 cm because you have a multiband-station.

Have worked him before during normal conds. He must have a super-QTH and very good equipment. I donīt know of any other station that is workable at that distance during normal conds. -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Band | TOTAL | QSO-POINTS | BAD | LOC-POINTS | QRB KM | | 2G3 | 1432 | 3 832 | 0 | 2 600 | SM6PGP 205 | | 5G7 | 1233 | 2 633 | 0 | 2 600 | SM6ESG 168 | | 10G | 3836 | 3 2936 | 0 | 3 900 | PA3CEG 523 | | 24G | 0 | 0 0 | 0 | 0 0 | 0 | | MULTI | 6501 | 8 4401 | 0 | 7 2100 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- Station description : 2G3 : IC-260+transv, preamp, 41el Yagi 5G7 : IC-260+transv, preamp, 15W, 0,9m dish 10G : IC-260+transv, preamp, 10W, 0,9m dish 24G : IC-260+transv, preamp, 100mW, 0,28m dish Date Time Call Tx Rx Loc Bnd Mod LDP Pnts Note ------------------------------------------------------------- 990817 1757 PA3CEG 519 519 JO33FB 10G CW L 2092 ...... 990817 1806 OZ2TG 59 59 JO65FP 2G3 SSB L 86 ...... 990817 1808 OZ2TG 59 59 JO65FP 10G SSB L 172 ...... 990817 1814 OZ2TG 59 59 JO65FP 5G7 SSB L 129 ...... 990817 2031 SM6PGP 519 519 JO67BK 2G3 CW L 410 ...... 990817 2044 SM6ESG 529 539 JO67CC 2G3 CW 336 ...... 990817 2045 SM6ESG 519 519 JO67CC 5G7 CW L 504 ...... 990817 2046 SM6ESG 539 529 JO67CC 10G CW L 672 ......
