CQ WPX Contest
Submitted by Elmar on Mon, 03/30/2009 - 09:22
Last weekend I tried to make some QSO's during the CQ WPX Contest.
There were no sunspots, but the conditions where good enough to put some new DXCC entries in my log.
I made a total of 114 QSO with 96 different prefixes and 42 different countries (20.064 points).
Well, not a bad result with 25 watt and a half G5RV!
A few stations from my log: E21EIC, 9M8Z, ZY7C, 8P5A, PY2YU, OY9JD, ZF1A, PJ2T, VP59V and FM5BH.
Some of the QSO´s were quick and easy but others were though and took some time.
Thank you all for your patience and good ears!
I only didn't get through the huge VK6ANC pile-up sunday evening on 40 meters....

Hi from ZL land. I too struggled through the QRM and big stations to work some new ones. Many I heard with good signals and would loved to have worked just were not possible. Some guys acttually exchangesd serial numbers with me and then when they couldn't get the last letter of my callsign correct gave up on me. very frustrating!
I was in the TB/Wires section 100w All bands single op. Hope to work you soon, maybe next contest if not before.

QRP
Nu is 25 watt geen QRP maar toch ook geen echte QRO. Dus een mooi resultaat! Ik heb met 5 watt in een half jaar tijd 60 DCXX landen gewerkt en 4 continenten, en ben daar best tevreden mee als je bedenkt dat ik maar een draad heb van 10 meter als antenne en idd weinig tot geen zonnevlekken. Dus dat beloofd wat als de zonnevlek cyclus nummer 24 opgang komt.
