December Rudolf Full Day of Hell
FELD HELL SPRINT (24 HR) CONTEST
BAND Q's S\P DX
40m 6 5 1
20m 3 1 0
SCORE: 162 SO2R LP (100w)
This was a 24 sprint ( most are a few hours) but I was
able to operate ONLY a few hours mostly on Friday night.
FH is a fun mode but not widely used. It is
an old mode, being used before WWII. I am
surprised how well it performs on week signals.
I think the activity is better on the short
sprints where activity is concentrated. Conditions
were poor - I heard a number of EU and SA stations
but they could not hear me which is unusual.
If you have never used FH, give it a try. Something
different and fun.
