ARRL 10m Contest, 14.-15. December 2002

HB9CZF - SO CW LP

Rig: K2 with 100W; Ant: 3el Yagi.

ARRL 10m Contest was the stress-test for my K2 + KPA100 + KAT100. KPA100 (= 100W PA) worked flawlessly and Sunday afternoon when I gave K/VE a run. The PA warmed up to approximately 50C (measured by hand). KAT100 is the antenna tuner and it matched my trap-beam to SWR 1:1. No issues at all.
Saturday I made a few QSO's before and after the XMAS Contest in HB9 and in the afternoon my YL and I purchased our XMAS-tree. Sunday morning I was back in the shack at 9am and did S&P direction East. Conds were not so good and EU stations had lots of backscatter. At sunrise for the US it was nice to see how withing a few minutes the signals climbed from S1 to S9+.
Missed US states: Ak, Dc, Hi, Nd, Or, Sd, and Wy.
Missed VE provinces: Nt, Lb, Nu, and Yt.
