Som det kan læses nedenfor, så var der både godt og dårlige oplevelser i årets DX-pedition til EU-030 Bornholm.

Største problem var, at vi mistede modtageren på multiplier stationen, da begge stationer på et tidspunkt stod på samme bånd. Hvis nogen har en god løsning til at undgå sådanne tilfælde i fremtiden, så er jeg modtagelig for forslag. Helst noget, der er "idiotsikkert" :-)

Vi kunne godt have brugt en mere til at holde barduner, da vi satte mast op. Modsat var vi ikke flere operatører, end at vi fik sovet lidt og slappet af ind i mellem, og der var ikke kø ved radioerne.

Det var i øvrigt sjovt at blive rapporteret på 10 M, både SSB og CW. Det er ikke hverdagskost i disse fattige solplettider.

Vi takker for QSO med: OZ1GCT, OZ2PBS, OZ3EP og OZ5VEJ. QSO med OZ8SW smuttede desværre, bedre held næste gang.

Tak for lån af QTH til Bornholms Hjemmeværn.

Vi forventer at være QRV fra en ny ø til næste år. Nu har jeg været på Anholt (99), Fanø (00), Læsø (03) og Bornholm (08), og det er lige sjovt hver gang.


På teamets vegne.

Comments:

The decision of the DX-pedition to EU-030 Bornholm Island was made a few months ago. OZ2JBC / 5Q2J and his girlfriend OZ0CP would like to have a short vacation on the island before the contest. They arrived Friday July 18 and booked a place at the former military areal just outside the main city Ronne. 

OZ0J / 5Q2T arrived Friday 25 July with the morning ferry and we started to
unpack the setup Friday at noon. 

The Spiderbeam was put together for the first time ever, and that was a bigger challenge than expected. After a few adjustments the beam was workable on the contest bands. We were on air 45 minutes after the contest start. 

The weather was more than good. The Danish summer can be quite a challenge but we had sunshine all day and up to 30 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately we had a little more wind than wanted on Saturday so the Spiderbeam was not in full height. 

The band conditions where better than expected but we are still in the low end of the sunspots so QSO’s outside Europe where very rare. With only one
CW-operator (not in shape) the main QSO’s where made in SSB. However, some CW QSO's where also made.


Highlights:

The good condx especially on 10M mostly on Sunday
The QSO on 40M CW to NA (made on a 40 M dipole)
The good weather


Lowlights

We last the receiver on the multiplier station during Saturday night because
both stations where on the same band. All QSO’s Sunday where made on only one
station.
The time for the first time to sample and put up a Spiderbeam.

Thanks for all the QSO’s and cuagn next year – from another island.
