XMAS Contest, 14. December 2002

HB9CZF - QRP

Rig: K2 with 5W and 41m LW

The Swiss XMAS Contest is a real local contest that gives also non-contester the posibility to participate. I run the CW part only and to have at least one challenge I try QRP. As you can see on the rate-sheet the contest is slow. CW is at 20 wpm and the last half hour is almost dead.

Missing Cantons on 80m were: AI, AR, BS, GL, OW, SZ and UR.
and on 40m: AI, AR, BS, GL, OW, SH, SZ, UR and VS.

Although I was using TRLog one might ask why I have 6 dupes. On the contest-reflector I learned from several big guns that working dupes takes less time then explaining the partner it was a dupe.
