EU Sprint CW, 11. October 2003

HB9CZF - SOAB LP CW

The autumn Sprint always falls to the same weekend as the Oceania Contest. Therefore I operated EU Sprint distracted. Sprint distracted Oceania or was it the otherway round ?!? Furthermore, on 20m I fought against the KW alley and beeing in Central Europe would require short skip propagation.

Fun experience was the first QSO with Fabian, DJ1YFK. Instead the expected "Fab" he signed "LID" this time. Another "LID" was 9A7P (Hrle, 9A6XX). Seems to be the motto of WWYC, hi.

Rig: K2/100
Ant: 3el Yagi and 41m LW.

Between 5pm and 6pm I was "off" for 37min. I tried to find some OC on 40m and VK4EMM, ZL2BR and ZL6QH found their way into my log.
