DJ0UDSO HP 40MPWR: 750W; Antennas: quarter wavelength vertical with 50 radials and dipole @11m
DJ1AASA HP 15MIn case of my faulty beam 20m and 40m no possible bands. The long wire for 80m/160m was down, too. So I decided to work monoband 15m HP during the daylight. 1st day OK, second day it was very hard to find new calls. In the last hours it was not possible to make more than 3 - 4 QSOs each hour, a horror. I closed my log after 314 QSOs and 250 prefixes. 73 Mirko DJ1AA and C U in 2009, be sure.
DJ2IASO HP ALLIC-7800 2-ele-Quad Vertical RCKLog
DJ3GESO QRP 160M5 Watt QRP from FT817 to a Windom (21m long, 8m high) matched through the tuner Z11. Nice contest again. Participation QRP SSB is much more difficult than in QRP CW. Heard and called many more stations, but my signal was too weak.
DJ3WESA HP ALLSSB contests keep getting tougher: Even with HP it becomes increasingly difficult to keep a frequency resp. to reach a rare stn. I guess it has to do with the fact that for long periods of time one can only use a single band, which then, of course, is completely overcrowded. Still, it's been lots of fun. I thouroughly enjoyed my participation.
