Activity during the NAC 17 October 2023
I had to repair my pre amp, blown in the October contest.

Still need to get things improved, my CW keyer was giving me problems, output about 3 dB to low than before.
My pre amp survived after minor changes to the sequencer. Hope that problem is solved.

This is what I worked:


Activity during the IARU UHF October contest 2023
After my QTH change I was QRV for the first time on 23 cm from my new QTH

I made 34 QSO's not very much. Had problems in getting my equipment going again and after 34 QSO's I blew my pre amp, not a clue why.

This is what I worked:

Tropo

My 2.5 mtr dish for tropo is down
for moving to new location
 

My station:
2.5 mtr dish at 10 meter over ground

2018 activity

For the first time I have been active from my new QTH participating in the 2 meter IARU contest.
This was not real serious, but just to see what happens with a small HB9CV antenna at 12 meter high.

I managed to work 70 QSO's from which one was duplicated, so 69 valid QSO's

Best DX was OK1VDJ from JN79US over 654 km

Longest distance heard was OK1KII from JN88uu over 831 km

 

This was my antenna during the IARU contest
A HB9CV antenna on top of a 12 meter mast, not high enough to clear the trees, for that I will need at least 5 meters or more.

October 2010 a month to remember

The start of this month was the IARU contest. I participated on 23cm and made 90 QSO's.
Many nice dx stations worked with best dx OK1KPA in SSB over 817 km.

A few days later we had wonderful propagation into SP and OY and GI EI and G.

Here is a map what I worked during the contest over more than 400 km and during the conditions

All contacts on 1296 MHz

take a listen to the signal from OY9JD

take a listen to the signal from EI9FX, I was his first PA station on 23 cm

take a listen to the beacon OY6BEC on 23 cm
