Oceania CW Contest, 9 October 2004

HB9CZF - SOAB LP

Is it really worth a report? I had several projects planned for my visit. Firstly I measured the loop we used during NFD back in June. I wanted to find out what went wrong on 15 and 10m.

A few weeks ago we put the 3el SteppIR up the tower but it didn't see any QSO so far. 1st QSO was with Nigel G3TXF signing P29XF on 12m. New antenna, new country (P2) and new IOTA (OC-240) - this should pay off all expenses, hi.

Further QSOs were: VR2KW, UR5FAV/p (EU-182), P29SX, N6AW, KL7/WF9A, amongst others ...

In Oceania Contest I was handing out 10 QSOs - 9 on 20m and 1 on 40m. 40m was very busy with Oceania Contest, P29SX-Pile-Up (= European zoo), EU Sprint, Makrothen RTTY Contest and another Japanese Contest. Everything in the first 40 kHz ...

Rig: K2/100
Ant: 3el Yagi for 10-20m and 41m LW for 40/80m.
