Dear OMs and Yls,
Last night I came back from dinner at our local with the XYL. I sat
down at the radio and heard F5IN at about 21:06 UTC working a contest. Ah it
is the Russian 160M contest �"hmm. Oh it seems that one does not just
work UA land. This is good as there would not be enough activity to keep
going. It would just be a bore. Okay another good thing is that the
contest is over at 24:00 so I could stay up for it. An hour and six minutes
of the four hours is lost but I am still pretty sober not having consumed too
much �" thank God. Lets give it a try.
Well this contest was an absolute toot �" I enjoyed it from
start to finish. I like short contests! I worked 130 QSOs, in 32 DXCC and
27 Russian regions for a score of 43,011. At the start I was not hearing any
of the Russians who were spotted so worked some EU stations, then I started a
“run” and gradually Russian stations started calling in. During this
time I worked Greece and the UAE. Later things started to flag and the USA
was coming in so about ten North American QSOs were added of course including
VE1ZZ, Jack as a starter. This activity from W/VE was good as for the last
hour the contests really flagged. There were not that many Russian or EU
entrants but it was a most agreeable evening and all the more so as it was not
expected.
Post Contest by a couple of minutes V5/DL3DXX in Namibia was worked for a
new 160M entity.
It seems that the inverted L on the original SteppIR radial field is not
doing too poorly. I hope to improve this before the Stew Perry. Thanks to
all.
