Marconi Memorial Contest - 144 MHz CW, 6. - 7. November 2004
HB9CZF - SO CW
One of the rare occasions I'm running a 2m Contest from my balcony. Weather wise it was cloudy and a bit of rain Sunday morning. Surprisingly lots of signals had rough tones (Aurora/Rainscatter like) and several DX-QSO peaked only for a few seconds which often was enough for a successful QSO.
It was also my first VHF contest with Writelog and the module provided by DL1EFD worked flawlessly.
Rig: K2 with DEM Transverter. Approx. 25W
Ant: 7el Yagi.
