[CCF] Fw: IARU OH6XX M/S HP

[Juha Rantanen]

Eipä tuohon alla olevaan juttuun voi enää muuta lisätä kuin, että turpaan 
tuli niin että tukka lähti. Olimme huonoja kertoimissa ja sillä selvä.

> First IARU contest in years is behind us now with a field day style 
> station. A
> bit mixed feelings after the contest. We set our target to 2000 QSOs and 
> 250
> mults. We missed the QSO target just by some 130 Q's but the mult total is
> really terrible.
>
> We got a good start to the contest with almost 300 Q's after first two 
> hours. We
> wanted to push right in the beginning and made a decision to neglect the 
> mults
> outside 20m phone. We didn't have proper station we could use to listen 
> same
> band/modes multipliers so we had to use sub vfo of FT1000MP. We should 
> have set
> up another station for the inband mults. The problem was lack of usable 
> antenna
> for the station. As we had to obey the 10m per mode rule we didn't want to 
> stop
> the runs for a single heard mult on 10m or any other band (only one signal 
> heard
> on 10m in entire contest). Maybe we should have. We would have lost quite 
> a few

> As we made the decision to stay on 20m in the beginning of the contest we

> only
> few EA5's heareble to us and we decided to wait till Sunday. Again clear
> mistake.

> Eventhough we made some clear misjudgements we had great time. Greatest 
> thing of
