Hi Gang Just made it home from way down South
at this stage sufficient to
say loads of participants went out of their way to ask me to pass on their
sincere thanks for the brilliant GB5HQ operation this past weekend. Not only
were you QSX for PY5 but passing and handling was of the highest order.
Their comments not mine.
I will in due time write up a deeper report but except for a couple of
comments re 80SSB being so strong  and being unable to break the Eu pileup
from PY5 no
other adverse comments. Praise was handed out (& I have to agree cos I hrd
it several times) the 10m cw signal was just outstanding only the Belguim HQ
station got anyway being close. 40m SSB way after UK sunup was very load and
John K4BAI asked me to pass on that he was actually called on 80m CW by
GB5HQ he reckoned 1-hr after sunrise so in his words the UK boys were
clearly QSX for the WRTC Group of stations. G3ORY seemed to be everyplace
and NJW Clive was very loud on 40m CW.
I also noted that little seemed to be hrd of DA0HQ. I had both my run and
S/p audio one in each ear so got a reasonable view of the CW ends on a
regular basis.  The HA HQ station wasn’t ever strong but could be not
beaming our way when hrd. Only 4-WRTC stations made the single mode award
qualifier of 70:30% split and hence more CW than SSB this time and certainly
with my crew they had a massive 80:20 split favouring CW.
One other point for the 80m crews the antenna used for WRTC Stations was a
“Loaded Dipole inverted-V style” hung off the tower supporting the HF LPA
and 2-ele 40m Beam. Not exacly ideal for working 80m DX. My location was way
up in the mountains (+/- 250km North) and at 3000 ft ASL. With some quiet
prayers being said after the test finished nature unleased one of the
loudest thunderstorms I have ever witnessed. We drove the return leg on dirt
road for 50km with water cascading down and all this on what we described as
canyon country up hill and down dale.
Was the effort worthwhile, you bet your sweet bippy it was despite missing
loads of sleep between Friday am and Sunday night. The friendships kindled
this past week will remain for years so the next time you work a PY say
thank you (Obrigado) for putting on WRTC-2006. They are a long way from no
place especially on 40/80/160 and except for a few they have little pistol
stations so they really do appreciate Dx QSO’s.
I will read every Email (all 720) to give me the ovrview I need to catchup
