The seven - is a number of our participations in the nice CQ WW TOP CW contest
as OL7M in the MS category. This contest is one of the most difficult and also
most beautiful one in the year! There is nice winter WX again after almost 5
years, we have got more than 25cm of snow and temperatures under the zero for a
long weeks. During that, we prepared beverages and antennas most time in TWO
persons...
At first we used and tested new BIG BOX - RX antenna switch for 2
independant RX per each band by www.RemoteQTH.com. It worked great and I was
surprised about the parameters. Thanks to Jan OK2ZAW !
The conditions during the contest were average. Opening to the NA during the
Saturday night was quite low and we made most of the mults and QSO during the
second one. There were nice hour around 22 UTC when JA and also NA came at the
same time. Unfortunately with very weak signals! The best NA QSO is with KY7M
from AZ, thanks Lee! Conditions to JA was also low-average and it was really
crazy to hunt weak signals in the crowded JA window. Anyway after it all we are
really satisfied with the result despite we know that it could be better :)
We are really happy to make some rare DXCC and thanks a lot to Jorge CW5W,
