Comments:
Another field style M/2 operation passed from Bozcaada island (IOTA AS-099) with
the station setup getting better every year. This time managed to put 10
transmitting antennas on the field, having fixed+rotary antenna combinations on
40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. It took us a week to erect and tune them and only 4
hours to dismantle, pack & get on the ferry towards the continent.
Missing LZ3YY's participation this year we ended with 6 operators and 5
operating positions ... not that optimal for 48 hours contest so couldn't get
the best of the setup, yet band conditions were so good that we (again) forgot
to focus on 20 meters while amazed by the rates on 80, 40, 15 and 10 ...
although before the contest we all agreed not to do it.
Station setup:
TX + RX ant:
160m - Vertical + 6x beverage & k9ay
80m - Vertical + 6x beverage & k9ay
40m - Vertical & Monster Spiderbeam + 6x beverage & k9ay
20m - RR33 fixed & 4L rotary + RR33
15m - 5L fixed & 4L rotary + RR33
10m - 6L fixed & 4L rotary + RR33

We would like to express our gratitude to:
- TA2TX for all the guidance, help, logistics organization, and of course - for
making fun on all of us in his very specific manner.
- LZ1DCW for his persistence in transportation tasks, especially negotiations
with customs control on Turkish border.
- OM Neno (hey boy, you have to get a license someday) for his efforts in
building, mounting and dismantling masts, rotors, antennas and all the
surrounding hardware.
- .. and last but not at least - to all of you who called us for making this
contest such a great experience!!!
CU next year!
73!
