In the middle of September I decided to operate CQ WW DX SSB Contest from my
new QTH in Bosnia. The Question was if it would be possible to setup the
station for an all-band operation until the contest. Because of work and family
duties I (we) had only limited time to do this, 2 weekends and 1.5 days before
the contest.
At that time only 2 el 40m@ 33m and KT34XA @8m were installed

and most of remaining hardware (90%) had to be brought in from Austria or from
somewhere else!
On the first weekend we delivered as much hardware as we could, travelling
with 2 cars and one trailer.

Donâ??t ask me how we managed to cross all borders from Austria
to Bosnia without any problems. :)
That weekend we prepared the tower and other hardware and poured the
foundations for the tower and guy wire anchors!

Two weeks later we brought in another carload of hardware to the QTH.
During that weekend we put up 2 new towers and 5 antennas!
There was not much time left to test anything but we made a few
QSOs on 20m!
Pics from that weekend can be seen at this link

In between I also spent some time @ OE4A doing some antenna work.

Finally on Thursday late afternoon we started the final preparations for the
contest!
Unfortunately this time Mr. Murphy did not leave us alone....I donâ??t remember
anymore how much repair work we did on Friday, everything we touched needed
repair...
Unfortunately we didnâ??t have enough time to repair everything and we even
thought about doing SOSB instead of M/2!
Finally with much handikap (one amp less and station setup not like we wanted
to have it) we decided to enter M/2 JFF (just for fun). Nobody from the team
knew how our station would be performing, we didnâ??t have time to check
inter-stations interference, etc...
The idea was to participate in M/2 category in order to find most of the
problems we need to fix in future and in operating M/2 we would have more fun
as in other categories!
But band condx were great and our station was performing better than we
expected. Our best band was 15m where we had our best rates, 6 hours in a row
during Saturday afternoon over 200 QSOs /h with best 60min rate of 274 QSOs/h!
During the contest we made some tactical errors (but we are not angry about
that because this team had never operated M/2 in CQWW before and this was our
first CQWW operating together). Also a broken relay on Station 1 amplifier
during the 2nd night (we repaired this Sunday morning) caused us some trouble
and we stayed with only one station on the air till Sunday morning!
Finally our score was better than expected but we know there is much more
potential there!
