IB9ZSO HP ALLThe first hour with great difficulty I made 60 qso on 20 meters, dropped to less than 40 in the second hour. I tried on 15 meters and in one hour only 11 qso. Terrible propagation, at low power it was almost impossible. I made a total of about 16 hours of activity only on 10, 15 and 20 meters with 400 W and a rotating dipole for 10-15-20, I closed well before the end of the contest

IQ6JUM2This attempt at the WPX contest in the Multi-2 category started more as a fun experiment than a serious effort. Together with my friend Pierluigi, IU0DHV, we decided to jump into the adventure despite our busy work schedules. So, on Friday afternoon, we met up at my radio station with the idea of adding a dipole for 160 meters, alongside the existing 80/160 inverted V vertical. The operating setup was fairly decent... for a single-operator station. Definitely a bit limited for a proper Multi-2 effort. Still, we had two towers ? one 18 meters tall and the other 15 ? both equipped with multiband beams (10-15-20-40 m), a loaded rotatable dipole for 80 meters, which was mounted on the shorter tower, the 80/160 vertical installed at ground level, and the newly added 160-meter dipole mounted on the taller tower. Unfortunately, the weather didn?t help: we had to pause installation due to heavy rain. Despite some RF issues between the two radios ? caused by the close proximity of the antennas ? we decided to go ahead and seriously test ourselves in the Multi-2 category. As is often the case, the first day of the contest was the most productive in terms of QSOs, even under non-stop rain. Considering all the challenges ? the less-than-ideal location of the station (in the middle of an industrial area, surrounded by mountains), the weather conditions, and the fact that it was just the two of us with no dedicated multiplier hunters ? we were quite satisfied with the final result. Propagation gave us a pleasant surprise, with long openings on the high bands both Saturday and Sunday, even during the night ? something quite unusual for our area. In the end, beyond the score, it was a great way to disconnect from work and the usual daily routine. And ultimately, that?s what it?s all about. Thanks to everyone who contacted us ? and see you in the WPX CW at the end of May!(I still don't know in which category hahahahaha) 73, IQ6JU team (Francesco IK6QON, Pierluigi IU0DHV)
IS0ILPSO LP ALLOttimo contest, buona la propagazione, numerose le stazioni DX. Si conferma sempre, uno dei contest più divertenti e partecipati

IT9/DK6XZSO HP ALLIt's always a pleasure to join such an event remotely from Palermo—many thanks to my host, Gabry, who successfully operated SO80 as SQ9Y. My participation was part-time, mainly to say hello to friends and give out some points. In my opinion, propagation conditions from southern Europe were generally suboptimal, though slightly better on the second day. A big thank you to everyone for the QSOs! A special mention goes to Braco, E77DX, for his extraordinary effort—he is claiming a new world record with his score as D4DX. 73, and looking forward to seeing you in the CW leg in synchronized dual-band operation! Suad, DK6XZ

IT9OPRSO LP ALLI worked only 3 bands, 10-15 - 20 M. Participating in the wpx contest, given the bad conditions of my antenna setup,always is a good reason to participate for the pleasure to meet old 'big pistols' and new friends. Bad conditions on 20m during the night hours. I tried to reach last year's score. I would like to say many thanks to all stations that I met during the contest. I'll hope better conditions for next year. Best 73s
