[3830] S50HQ in IARU 99 - WRTC 2000 Simulation

Tue Jul 13 16:05:14 EDT 1999

Hello !

S50HQ with the special "ZRS" multiplier (IARU member-society HQ station) was
put on the air once again by Slovenia Contest Club during IARU HF
CHAMPIOSHIP 99 (July 10 - 11, 1999).
Station was operated by Robert, S57AW and Ted, S51TA. We operated on 80 -
10m, mixed mode. Two radios were used, IC-775 DSP (barefoot) as main
(transmiting) radio and IC-735 as a spotting station only. Antenna setup
consisted of a 3-el triband yagi at 10m and FD-4 multiband dipole at 12m. We
were operating from the the top of a mountain Rogla, 1500 ASL (one of the
planning location in WRTC-2000). Operation was similar to "field
day"contest: small tent .... big adventure because of a lot rain etc...and
belonging troubles.

The working conditions and the rules followed were similar as they will
apply in WRTC2000. We tried to simulate as close as possible the conditions
the Teams are going to face in WRTC2000, thus giving us a valuable
information which is hereby passed-on to the contest community.
