Oceania CW Contest, 8 October 2005

HB9CZF - SOAB LP

Between climbing 2 towers and EU Sprint Contest I handed out some QSO and entered probabely my "worst" contest ever, hi. A total of 5 QSO.

I was amazed to hear Frank, ZL4BR, from 13:15z on 40m, that's mid afternoon and serval hours before my sunset (16:49z).

Between 15:00z and 18:59z we run the CW portion of EU-Sprint and roughly between 16 and 18z everybody is on 40m, mostly between 7010 and 7035 kHz. Whenever I was scanning the 40m band I was surprised to hear ZL6QH with an S9 signal on 7025kHz between all the EU stations. It seems they could hold the QRG for quite some time.

Rig: K2/100
Ant: 3el SteppIR for 10-20m and 41m LW for 40/80m.
Log: Win-Test 2.19.6
