[WWYC] WPX @ DM2SR (SOAB-LP)

[Steffen Regis]

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a good contest and much fun!
I had :)

After some bad technical problems before the beginning of RDXC, where I could not participate, the WPX was really a good thing to check the equipment and... all worked fine here. 
I was very glad about the good conditions, especially on 80m and 40m (the reason, why I didin't sleep much the weekend) and the big activity. It was my first contest with my call DM2SR, and I got sometimes frustrated when I heard someone asking the sixth time "is it DM2KR?".... ok, it was late in the night, maybe I was a bit tired.
In the next year I hope to have a "real" DL or DK call.

The target for this year was 500 Qso, not reached, because of too long off time sunday morning, second target: 300,000 Points reached :)

But there were also some nice moments:
The calls of known WWYC'ers...
The fourth call from LZ9W...
the call from CN2R: "Who is the papa?" (I still don't know who his father is...)

I don't like to tell the call of them, but there are always some people (mainly DL's), who aren't in contest, talking about brainless things but with a 1,5 kW burner for +/- 20 kHz. That's hard to understand...

OK, enough of trash said, here's the result:
