CQ WPX CW Contest, 28-29 May 2005

HB9CZF - SO(TS)AB LP

The big surprise were the excellent conds when you think at the current state of the solar cycle. Even 15m opened towards W which was impossible just one month ago during Helvetia contest. 10m produced some DX as well and not to forget the Sporadic-E QSO withing Europe. The night shift was done in the sleeping bag and mid Sunday moring I set my goal to 1000 QSO, 500 Multis and 1 Mio points. After that I called it a contest (day). WX wise was overachieved as well: 30+ C outside and after I opened every possible door and window the inside temperature climbed up to 24C.

WPX with only 1 TRX (left SO2R stuff at home) is getting boring. Multis count only once and every second QSO is a new mult. Therefore I S&P 10m and dug out some weak signals.

New ones for me were 7Q7WW, 9G5FD, after a long time again PZ5XX and TU2CI. KL7IKF produced a nice signal as well.

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