| E2A | MULTI-ONE | Greetings from Ban Ta Bong, Mr. Murphy's headquarters. We can confirm that Murphy was there for the entire 48 hours this year. Dusko ZL3WW, Dietmar DL3DXX and Marek SP3LPG hardly did any contests, but tried to repair things so that we could provide an M/S station for the rest of the team. Unfortunately, we had to keep chasing people from one station to another (we had 3 stations running) to solve problems. There was nothing this year that didn't break so we can be very happy with the result. Of the 48 hours we were only able to rotate one antenna (15m) for around 40 hours and then on Sunday evening at least the main antenna OptiBeam 80-40-20 and 2x10m 5 element on top. Another 7el 15 was fixed to the EU (rotor broken), a 5el 15 fixed to the VK (never had a rotor), a 5el 20m has no cable and no rotor and a PRO57 has a broken rotor control unit. Good conditions for a chaotic contest. In the days before, there had already been various failures due to lightning strikes, which knocked an MKII and the control unit for the OPTI beam out of the race. One BY amplifier is still broken (OM2500 replica), the second one broke during the contest, and the third station had a small transistor amplifier, but it often acted up because it picked up HF from the other nearby antennas and no longer wanted to transmit. The transceivers are 2x FT5000s and 1x FT2000. One of the FT5000 was borrowed from Champ E21EIC, the other is an heirloom from Fred K3ZO, but it was poorly packaged in the USA and arrived broken - front dented, display broken. Sam HS0ZDY/SM3DYU managed to repair it in time, as well as one of the two FT2000s that are usually used here, and got them to the operating site on Friday evening before the contest starts. High band conditions were great, but limited when rotating the antennas. Only the C31XR could be rotated, the OptiBeam only on late Sunday evening. Dusko ZL3WW was on the 60m tower several times over several days to repair things. Various cables have failed because they were previously poorly soldered and the moisture and heat then mean that after 1-2 years, they simply no longer make contact. It is also not ideal to hang the band stubs outside under the AC system, where it is constantly dripping out water, but there is just no place to put them. Unfortunately, everything is a problem here: the right plugs, a piece of cable, a piece of wire, a working meter, the right tools. For simple things that are needed in normal households, you have to drive 30 km for amateur radio-specific things, you have to go to Bangkok, 5 hours by car from here, and even then, you might not find them. So if the right plug is missing, you look to see if you can find a suitable one in a spare stub that isn't in use and break the stub. It takes three times as long, but what can you do... Every cable, every screw, everything is a problem... Eh... why do we put ourselves through this? You really have to like this chaos. We had about 40 hours of repair contests this year after we started days before. 30 minutes after the end of the contest, 2 house connection phases were also missing. The electrician had to come and found that the house connection was sloppily connected. Welcome to the 3rd world..... :-) This year we also welcome Yosuke or “ToTo” JJ1DQR to Ban Ta Bong for the first time. Thanks for all the QSOs and sorry for any missing band multipliers. This year the low-band conditions were extremely bad. There was never a single signal to be heard on 160m. There is no other station in Thailand that does 160m to at least secure the multipliers for country and zone. The closest neighbour Alex 3W9A (KU1CW) was loud on 80 but couldn't do 160m, so not a single 160m QSO. Simple things like Japan are missing on 80m. In addition, we are not allowed to transmit above 3600 and the 80m beam was fixed to Europe until Sunday evening. This means that pretty much all 40m multipliers from the Pacific, USA and the Caribbean are missing. Now we have about 4 weeks to get the station up and running so that there are fewer problems in CQWW-CW. Multi-single is planned, let's see what the technology and crew can make possible. 73 de E2A Team (@HS0ZGD) Ban Ta Bong The Center of the World |

| EA8AM | SA HIGH 15M | Hello. I made the CQWW Contest 2024, in 21 MHz. with a vintage station of the 80s. (Kenwood, TS-130SE and Heathkit SB-220 amplifier). For me it has in a special merit, to be able to be in the contest as I did in the past. There are no sophistications here, the voice call was my own voice and the mint candy pack. The memory was the finger and the wheel of the VFO. The radio does not have memory or vfo a/b, if I was calling at a frequency and at another one a multiplier came out, it wrote down the frequency where I was calling, I moved to the caller's frequency, I tried to work him/her, and returned to my original frequency. I had to lift the monitor, to be able to see the frequency in the display, and I took a volume of the CQ magazine collection that I had bound, and then I saw the year, 1983. Then I realized how old I am ha ha ha. Congratulations to all CQ WW 2024 contestants and especially those who provided me with the point and multiplier. A big hug for all. 73 of EA8AM |

| ED3O | SO LOW 10M | Conditions on 10 were incredible!!! The band was full of stations from 28.250 to 29050. For a Low Power stn, it was very dificult to find a clear frecuancy to call CQ and so most of tHe time was spent in S&P resulting in a lower QSO number but more mults. Thanks for the QSOs!!! |
