Hi contesters, I am very interested in: 1. Is it possible to make over 300 QSOs/hour on SSB or on CW? 2. Which contest the best for the best QSOs/hour? 3. SO1R or SO2R gives more chance for *the best
N5TJ operating from P4 (I think) made 457/hour SSB in the CQWW a few years ago. 300/hour should be possible on CW, though I don't know of anyone who has done it. I'm sure it was done by DX, it's hard
There is no doubt the 300 "Q's" / Hour is attatinable in fact K9PG has over 400 / Hr in his ZF2NT SSB entry. I will repeat this again in case it wasn't heard before. If you're in a good location (pre
Others have already mentioned that 300/hr has been achieved on SSB, but I tend to think a sustained hour of 300 is probably not possible... not enough activity. On CW, I think that the only contest
A 300 hour on CW would seem "almost impossible" to me. After having my best ever 60 minutes from EA8BH in the last CQWW CW (258) I'm not sure what else could have gone better. As Kenny, K2KW points o
I have a vague recollection that Dave, W6NL, and company had a 400 hour from EA9 a few years ago in CQWW SSB. Can someone confirm that? 73, andy, ae6y -- Original Message -- From: "KEN SILVERMAN" <k2
Back in the 80's I remember hearing of a JA operator at one of the Caribbean stations in CQWW SSB that was working JAs on 10 and 15 at rates of around 450/hr and he was logging in Japaneese on paper
Phil, I think the highest rate ever achieved was by N5TJ operating EA8BH in 1999 CQ WW SSB. He had a support crew that included OH2BH. A superb contest station and great conditions but also a great o
Hello Phil et al I posted a query about this maybe a year ago. The August 1980 issue of '73' magazine (the only copy of this magazine I own!) tells the story of VP2KC in CQ WW Phone October 1979, whe
Actually Rich, N6KT, was the first to do it several years ago in the ARRL DX SSB from the TI2CF station (don't remember his contest call - TI2C?). If Jeff did it, then he would be the second person t
Maybe in terms of callers, but not in terms of exchange - serial numbers and states are too hard to copy. CQWW has the easiest exchange by far, and you can pretty much figure it out from the callsign
Chris, Masa is most likely the one that I'd heard of. As I remember the story he had sustained rates of 450/hr. In the days of paper logs that was probably the rate before removing dupes and was prob
Hmmmm 7.5 seconds/Qso? I am very far from such rate. 73s Lou KE1F / ZF2LM -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-contest-REQUEST@contesting.com
Hi contesters, Thanks for all responses. My opinion, conclusion, etc.: The 300 Q's/h is no problem on SSB. The new question is over 500 Q's/h. Lots of *americans* made over 400 already, congratulatio
best else Nothing is impossible, Champ...just keep trying and I'm sure you will break 300 mark on CW. If you have 15 minutes of over 300 rate, I don't see why you can't make it. Or is one hour toooo
I have always found that the best raw rates are found on 15 meters. The reason for this is fairly simple. To achieve 400/hr (SSB)or 200/hr (CW) rates and above, you have to have a situation where you

Hi Will It does happen on 20 or lower. Rates above 200 can be done on 20 and even on 40 or 80. I had a 254 hour on 40 from 9Y4H during CQWW CW 96 I had a 255 hour on 40 from P40E during CQWW CW 97 I
Another example of this that I participated in was from V26B, where I was having a 375+ hour on 15m and K3MM sitting next to me was on 20m and was also having a 375+ hour. Our qsos were alternating o
Hi contesters, I compared (below) CN8WW's (M/M) *best hours* (/band) to EA8BH/N5TJ's (SOAB), CQWW SSB '99. It is very interesting to see CN8WW's 8897 QSOs, Jeff's 10353 QSOs. The difference is 1456 Q
Hi Zoli: Yes, no 2nd radio (or very little) at the beginning. Very easy - as a single-op I can jump from band to band to find the best rate. As a M/M CN8WW is ALWAYS on EVERY band, so their rates wil
