Hi all,
I am still with andrelin in my blood vains.
What a thrill.... I love contest and whatever it brings...
I was suppose to be travelling this weekend on business, but good gods allowed
me to stay home and operate contest.....
It really took me by surprise that I will be on.....
So once I found out that I am in, I had to make a decision, what to do... A
pleasant task, I must say.... Since I was SO 80m in SSB part of CQWW 2004, I
decided to carry on the 80m torch.
I knew my "old" antenna was not good enough. With a assistance of the EZ-HANG
(what a tool it is, great stuff) I put up a full size quarter wave vertical
(wire) antenna for 80m band, up in the tree. As the tree was not tall enough,
antenna was on the slope towards Eu. I set radials about 2 m above ground (to
allow kangaroos to move around).
It did not work OK with USA (it was not suupose to- for USA I had my "old" inv.
Vee), but was great with EU's and Africa.
In SSB part, I could not run EU, but this time it was different. May be it was a
propagation, may be it was my special antenna wire, but whatever it was, it
worked.
This is a score, I managed over the last weekend:
80m, Single Op, no Internet:
512 QSO, 25 Zones, 65 DXCC
Overall: 130, 140 points.
I still managed some QSO's on other bands ( for vk contest club and
...pleasure), but since I was doing antenna work on Saturday, not so much was
done on upper bands:
