Comment:
Hello dear contesters!
I am very sorry because I send this file so late but faster was impossible.
Why? This year I'm serving in army and to the last week before the contest
I did not know if I will come to home. I had an accident there and I wrenched
my knee. After that they send me home so I was able with a very big help of
my friends to compete in the contest. Sometimes is here in autumn possible
also snow or very bad weather and fast wind. But this year weather was nice
before and during the contest and we came on our location with a car except
the last hill on which I had to walk on crutches...HI
They put up all the antennas and other stuff and then I was ready to start
and run.
The contest was great and I am quite satisfied with result except the last
morning when I was touching to much back side of voice keyer end I make short
circuit and the fuse in transceiver burned. We tried to change it but
transceiver still did not work. After that I was working on old YAESU FT301D
without SPLIT and lost surely some 100 QSO's with W's. In few hours I got
new ICOM IC735 and I was working normally W's in the evening.
Propagation's were normal and thank's god also without Aurora so W and JA was
going quite well. I missed zone 2, 29, 31 and 39. Also the activity from
South America in the contest is very low so I think we have to go on some
course of Spanish language soon, hi ( not just CQ and report ).
After the contest I went back to barracks and then they send me in to hospital
where I spend twelve days and came home just today but still not totally well.
I am very grateful to all who helped me especially to S58MC, S53BB, S53CC,
S53RM, S51RM, S52GW, S52LW, S53ZO, S51MW and S57CT which we woke up in
4.30AM local time that he told us where the fuse in transceiver is, hi.
Also thanks to all which I forgot and all of you for points on the air.

Hi all:
Not sure who asked or which reflector it was on so will try 3! Someone was
asking about packetcluster links via the internet.
I have added 10 packetcluster links with help files to help you connect, to
my home page. My address is:
http://www.grfn.org/~ki8w/ki8w.html
Hope this helps.

*********************************************************************
This is the final posting so there is no need to send me any more
scores for this contest. I thank everyone for their help and hope to
see ya in SS SSB.
BTW as most of you have guessed the KP2 was the number one missed
section with VY1 coming in second.
Anyone who sends me a score with no class on it will be put into the B
class. Feel free to email me and I will correct it.
As an interesting sidebar (you see I watched OJ), those of you who
made it to 76 but missed the last one might email me and tell me
which one it was. I will then make up a poll just to see what was the
toughest to get. Pretty sure of the answer but it will be interesting
to look at it from a regional aspect.
Hope you like this. It is a preview of the SSB contest.

Message-ID: <v01510105acd35ff0d4e7@[192.0.2.1]>
Below is the latest news relayed by e-mail from Roger, G3SXW. For a more
complete picture of this contest DXpedition, you are welcome to visit the
TY5A Home Page at:
http://www.getnet.com/~kf7ay/cqwwty.html
Before, during and after the CQ World-Wide CW DX Contest, this web site
will be updated daily with information from the operators once they reach
Benin.
73 de Warren/KF7AY
----------------------------------------------------------
17 NOV 95: The team has left home and are now en route to Accra, Ghana as a
first stop. Each is carrying 80 Kg, or more, of luggage. We're doing lots
of sweet-talking to the airline check-in girls!
PROPAGATION: The WWV numbers are looking good and DX on 160-meters has been
excellent this week. The team is excited by the good propagation of the CQ
WW SSB contest. Hopefully the 27-day solar cycle will mean that the CW
weekend will also be blessed with good propagation. If so, we expect to be
working all six bands with big pile-ups.
REUNION: Most of us haven't met since Dayton, so the first evening together
in Ghana will no doubt be spent catching up. On Saturday, November 18th,
we'll install antennas and get QRV with 9G5 calls. We'll also be busy with
last minute arrangements for the trip to Benin.
LAND TRAVEL TO BENIN: On Tuesday, November 21st, we will drive East along
the Ghanaian coast (9G) to the Ghana-Togo border, through Togo (5V) and
into Benin (TY). This will mean two border crossings with many hundreds of
kilos of equipment. We have been told that its a five-hour journey but we
are allowing twelve!
STATIONS: At the QTH of Peter, TY1PS, the five operators intend to install
five stations, each with a TS930S and Alpha amplifier.
ANTENNAS: Verticals for the LF bands and yagis for the HF bands are
planned. All four beams will rotate, but the challenge will be to get them
up high enough. The two Force 12 verticals for 80 and 160 will be installed
at the Novotel Hotel in Accra, Ghana for further last minute testing. The
location in Benin will be on the beach, next to the Gulf of Guinea, with
lots of space, but no high buildings or trees.
160m: Force 12 vert + 1/2 wave dipole + beverage 80m: Force 12 vertical +
1/2-wave dipole 40m: Cushcraft 2 element 40-2CD
20m: Hy-Gain 7 element tribander TH7
15m: Force 12 4 element mono-bander
10m: Cushcraft 3 element mono-bander
40-10m: Cushcraft R7 vertical
ANTENNA SUPPORTS: Six poles, 20-feet high, have been purchased in Accra.
They can be accomodated in the 30-seater bus that will transport us to
Cotonou, Benin and back to Accra, Ghana.
UPDATES: Look for more updates on our home page on Wednesday, November
22nd. We'll let you know if we've reached Cotonou in one piece, and with
all the gear!

Walt, Have not received any response to my challenge in this year's 10M
Contest. If you did not receive it, tell me and I will restate it. If
you did, I made one typo - I offered the same low power mult that you and
'ZX agreed on for the CW SS, but mistated it as 1.5 instead of 1.25 - I'm
not all that confident!
