Hello guys,
this is my humble result in the IOTA contest from Texel, EU-038. I was
operating from my car with about 50W and a doublet, 2*10m @ 9m so 40m was
definitely the only band where I had a good signal. Condx on HF were awful,
40m was great fun with lots of pileups (best hour ~ 120 QSOs), on 80m I had
some nice runs but no long pileups.. The antenna was probably a bit too
short for that.
My QTH was in the northern part of the Island, about 2 km away from the
sea, on a camp site. Maybe I should move closer to the sea next time,
however I don't think that I'll go to EU-038 again because it's located
between G and DL which makes 20m contacts to those countries hard (and
there are LOTS of active stations). Anyway, my first contest from an island
was certainly worth the work and money (~ 80 euro for the whole trip,
including fuel + ferry - thats relatively cheap..).
73, Fabian dj1yfk
