Comments:
I operated a little more than 12 hours. The 3830 score submission is an
estimation of the 12 hour real score.
IOTA was again an impossible contest to have a good run as people participating
IOTA are much less considerate than in zone sending contests.
Pileups were more fierce than for example in CQWW.
Root causes for immature listening-calling-thenwhat behavior does not correlate
with peoples' years on the bands. Some people seem to take IOTA extra seriously
- which it most probably deserves.
Hear you all IOTA enthusiasts again in 2015 - probably with a real 24 hour
operation from this side.
The main transmit antenna setup is about final.
160 6x sloper
80 6x sloper
40 2o2 + 2o2 + 2 el yagis
20 3o3o3 + 3o3 + 3o3 yagis
15 4o4o4 + 4o4 + 4o4 yagis
10 5o5o5 + 5o5o5 + 5o5 yagis
Station automation was built forward before the IOTA 2014.
Band filters and antenna selections are now ready for a full two radio setup.
Next steps are to add some antennas; secondary and receiving plus 3rd radio.
This was as full family expedition as I can accomplish.
I was swimming, driving around and dining with the family.
Other than that, I was at the OH0V station.
Rephrasing the words used by Olli OH0XX : Minimum sleep, maximum result.
What a great experience !
Still on Getaberg - 73,
Jukka OH0V (OH0JJS / OH6LI)
