In Germany, probably the whole Region 1, only /m /mm /am /p are legal 73 Peter Von: "VE5ZX" <ve5zx@hotmail.com> _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@cont
I did it similar with my lowband amp, one common input, but 3 outputs, 3x Pi-L and 3 antenna relays. The Pi-Ls sitting on a relay rail connecting the tube output to the band used 160/80/40. The highb
I can see it any day at "Deutsche Welle" there wire antennas have 23-28dbi of gain "wires only" will beat many large yagi arrays 73 Peter I'd love to see it. Paul, K5AF ______________________________
DR1A will be operating M/M from DF0CG, also with webcam and realtime score linked on their webpage www.df0cg.de 73 Peter Looks like it is going to be a bit of a "lite" contest webcam-wise. From repli
Right, an extended double-zepp on 160m is also very effective on the high bands, especially when formed into a vee with 90° included angle and some drooping into the favourite direction... 73 Pet
Wally, You are no normal person, you are a contester ;-)) Perhaps you will find it a fairer competition to work only DX outside the continent as I do? Or is it fair that OX has fewer hams and a poore
I am sure those probably 1100 German hams did not appear on the bands just to work DA0HQ. The "award" for the 12 band QSOs is just a special qsl card, 281 got it in 2005 73 Peter P.S. DA0HQ achieved
Wally, Even without the 9000 qsos with DL DA0HQ would have beaten LZ0HQ, so there must be something else at LZ0HQ which needs leveling. Even if LZ0HQ could activate 1200 LZs to work LZ0HQ on 12 bands
Wally, No, I would not. If I sit at DF0CG on 20 or 15m with the band most of the time open to the US or other DX, being called by DLs 50% of the time and making contacts with them, is a waste of time
That is a good idea and the log checkers won´t kill you when those stations are obligated to send in a Cabrillo log. With that number of qsos they are most likely bite by the contest bacillus a
Dave, I wonder how many DL stations are in the GB5HQ Log? DA0HQ never asks stations to work only them as well 73 Peter Just to correct the arithmetic in an earlier posting That's 25% not 30%. This ye
Hi Dave, thank you for the info, I guess that the number of 2000 DL contacts will then be equivalent in other neighbour countries. I don't have numbers of the whole contest since I am not a DA0HQ ope
Yes, as I wrote, on the low bands they are more valuable because there are generally less qso points. On the high bands while working DLs they can´t work 3 and 5-pointers. If you take away a to
Mario, the 20m average points per qso is 3 already 73 Peter DF3KV: Assume instead working 5000 DLs, 2000? more 3 and 5 point contacts during the same operating time would be of better value ;-) Germa
Its very unlikely that they appear in one log only. The mass of DA0HQ DL qsos come from multiple contacts by the same stations. The 12 possible qso are very easy even with simple antennas 73 Peter Si
I know of a lot more classes! like 2 stacks, 3 stacks, 4, stacks, multiple stacks, one each for sea level locations , one for the valleys, one for the hilltops. Small towers, big, towers, now towers.
Perhaps you will find some more differences to get you into your own class without competition, people able to keep on their seat for 48 hours for instance should have their own class ;-)) Shall we a
If you want to propose a rule change do it with the contest sponsors, its getting boring now number of miles from the Atlantic in DX contests, number of miles from the Northeast in Domestic contests
You are not allowed to have two signals on the air at the same time, so you have to interrupt your CQ 73 Peter How do I time and synchronize my callls on the second radio without interrupting the CQ'
Hi Pete, Is /qrp allowed in your country? Anyway, running a station qrp at a good location with big antennas, it will be still stronger then one with dipoles or a vertical and 100W. I don´t see
