Active antenna for receiving by LZ1AQ
We arrived late Tuesday evening.
The locations was very nice (JN40HU). We found it on booking - see Casa Fronte
Mare. It was directly on the sea shore with sea in N, NW, and a bit of NE
directions.
The next 3 days we spent making antennas. It took us longer than expected due to
problems with tuning.
We were ready on Friday evening. Setting up the equipment was finished 1 hour
before the competition. Surprisingly we had no problems
with the equipment. The only issue was with the house which had terrible
electrical installation. We lost two hours due to a main wire
powering the house burning up. And no, we did not use a PA, just a small
heater.
The weather was great! No wind and very little rain. If it was not for this I
don't think we would've made it in time.
During the contest we worked in 8h shifts followed by 4 hours of rest. Each
shift was divided into 2 hours of running and 2 hours searching for mults.
Towards the end of the contest when there were not so many mults it was
difficult to keep the motivation high. Thus the Multi station was not 100%
active.
20-10m bands were terrible. We have more QSO on 80m than 20m. But I think this
was not the case only for us.
All in all I think we did well - we had great fun.
