Hej derhjemme,

Super score fra OZ5E! Tillykke med rekorden.

Hernede besluttede jeg at skifte kaldesignal og bruge TA3/OZ1AA da
klubben jeg besøgte var ved at skifte fra TA3KM til YM3KM.

Mange tak for QSO til OZ1GML, OZ5E, OZ4VW, OZ7EA, OZ1AXG, OZ7RQ, OZ4O,
OZ1KEF, OZ1CTK, OZ4FF, OZ7HVI, OZ5NJ, OZ7YL, OY1CT og OY6A. En
fornøjelse at sige hej.

Jeg har lagt et par billeder på http://www.oz1aa.com

På genhør i næste test.

Thanks to the guys at the YM3KM radio club in Izmir for the use of the station!

I am currently on a cycling expedition from Denmark to Sydney:
http://www.cyclingtheglobe.com - Arriving at the radio club in Izmir on Friday
evening I didn't really know what to expect. I was quickly taken out to dinner,
enjoying some of that fantastic Turkish hospitality.

During the contest the IC-718 radio without CW filters provided a bit of a
challenge. All loud signals where found twice or even more times when tuning up
or down the bands! As if 20 and 40 were not already crowded enough...

Antennas consisted of a moxon and a dipole. The multiband dipole played well on
40 but getting through on 80 was hard and on 160 almost impossible. On the other
hand, the moxon beam up around 15 meters played well into Europe on 20 and 15.

On Saturday a number of the club members had their Ham exam and returned with
fresh or upgraded licenses. Obviously they were eager to make their first QSOs
on HF. Watching the exciting looks in their faces I was only happy to share the
station missing some hours of rate on 15 meters.

The highlight of the contest was saying hi to all the friends around the world.

CQWW CW is the best! See you next year.
