Comments:
Popagation seemed a little better than during the OCDX-SSB weekend: our score
improved 40 %, possibly helped by the narrow-band advantage of CW over SSB.
John ZL1BYZ and Tony ZL2AGY made the pilgrimage to help flog the bands into
submission. Tnx OMs.
Before the contest, ZL1AZE had re-jigged the 80 m inverted-Vee into an 80 m
sloper, giving us a small increase in the 80 m score. The antenna farm was
pretty much operational, with the exception of the 2nd Eu short path Vee
(intermittent) and the rhombic - conveniently stuck on the Eu short path.
Armed with the ZL2AGY QRO torch, Brian ZL1AZE decided to venture into the bull
paddock to investigate the Eu Vee beam in the pitch dark. Your scribe followed
reluctantly, counting on Brian to cushion the blow - which fortunately never
came. The cattle - the very same herd that previously had visciously disembowled
the ZL1CT beverage - must have been in a mellow mood.
Highlights: 80 m short path into Eu, and the 10 m QSOs with JA and W-land. Best
DX: a very weak and fluttery TF3DX on 20 m. The TF-path completely faded during
the serial number (00?) for a NIL multiplier.
Thanks for working ZL6QH in the OCDX-CW; pse QSL via ZL2AOH (bureau or
direct).
73,
