[WWYC] G0MTN IOTA + EUHFC

[Lee Volante]

Hi all,

Great to work lots of you yesterday and last week - both contests seemed to
go very well with good activity and nice E layer short skip around EU from
my side.

Sorry I keep missing the sked's before the contests - I always run out of
time getting ready for the contests - in IOTA I was only 5 minutes early,
and in the EUHFC I was 20 minutes late.

Here are the score summaries.

Both contests: TS850, 100w, 3 el yagi + wire.

IOTA - G0MTN/P - EU005 - 12 hr island mix mode

I was having great fun running stations, but got very few IOTAs that way -
and had to balance running sessions with S+P sessions to try and maximise my
score.   Some choose to S+P completely to a huge mult total, others run for
a large QSO total.   I had last year's results to hand to keep track of my
own progress.

Even being on EU-5 seemed to generate interest - just turn up on 14.015 and
bang! - instant pileup.

There seemed to be more activity than ever which was good, although
considering the number of IOTA stations on I was a little disappointed to
work most on only a couple of the 10 band / mode slots.   Where were they
all hiding ?   (Or are my searching skills no good?)

The vast majority of QSOs were still with EU, although fortunately this year
I managed to coax a few more JAs into the log (for lots of island pts) on
Sunday morning.

Total:  621,621 pts.

==============


EUHFC - G0MTN - mix mode low power


Long live the E layer.  Much better 10m and 15m conditions this year into
Europe, and activity seemed to be excellent.  Worked about 500 stations in
first 6 hours, despite being half an hour late.

Callsign:  G0MTN                      Total Claimed Score    164920
(provisional !)
