[WWYC] CQWW CW OT4L M/S

[Lieven Thomassen]

CQWW CW Contest @ OT4L

Call: OT4L
Category: M/S
Operators: ON4TTT, ON4IA, ON4BR, ON6NL, ON6CC
Club: Worldwide Young Contesters

Simon M0CLW was also on the operators list, but in the
end he wasn't able to make the trip to ON, cause of
QRL. We sure could use another fine CW operator.
Here are our results:

band          qso's             countries       zones

We did quite well if we compare the multiplier results
to the results of some local single band contesters:
ON4AEK worked 128 countries and 34 zones on 40m and
ON4ATW got precicely a DXCC in one weekend on 80m
working 29 zones. So I can conclude we didn't miss too
much multipliers. I am curious to compare the other
band esults.

The low bands were really good, especially the first
morning but on the second day the condx sucked on the
higher bands. Compared to the SSB part...

Soon after the contest we made a list with the things
that need to be changed to the contest setup @ OT4L.
First of all the logcomputer, cause it is way to slow
to run N1MM logger. After hitting the ENTER key, you
sometimes need to wait a second or two before it goes
to TX! The first time it is funny, then it becomes
enoying... And we could use a Winkey or two, that
would be practical too.

We probably won't end up 6th of EU like we did last
year cause we had 6000+ qso's then, but nevertheless
it was big fun, even so much more fun than CQWW SSB (I
still have my voice now!)

And at last congrats to all those WWYC operating in
CQWW. There are really some fine op's among you guys,
a lot better than a lid like me  ;-)

See you all in next contest,

ON4TTT

GO WWYC!
