[CQ-Contest] The best QSOs/hour on SSB/CW

Fri Jun 29 07:57:35 EDT 2001

Another example of this that I participated in was from V26B, where I was having a 375+ hour on 15m and K3MM sitting next to me was on 20m and was also having a 375+ hour.  Our qsos were alternating on the screen and it was a blast.  

This was reported to K1DG but I don't believe the almanac has been updated since then.

Hi Will

It does happen on 20 or lower.
Rates above 200 can be done on 20 and even on 40 or 80.

I had a 254 hour on 40 from 9Y4H during CQWW CW 96
I had a 255 hour on 40 from P40E during CQWW CW 97
I had a 224 hour on 40 from P40E during CQWW CW 98
I had a 226 hour on 40 from P40E during CQWW CW 99

and all above working mainly european.
