CQ World Wide DX Contest
| Call | Category | Comments | ZD8W | MM | Unassisted multi-multi/non-category. No Internet, packet, skimmers. Three ops, W6NV, W6XD, and N6AA. 3 stations. 2 stations with amplifiers. All 15 meter and some 20-meter QSO's made low-power | ZL1BHQ | SO LP ALL | A VERY MUCH PART TIME EFFFORT. TOO MANY CONFLICTING INTERESTS | ZM4G | SA HP ALL | A tiring week's work is not the best prep for this contest! Still, the few hours I put in were good fun. A dawn pileup on 80m was challenging with QRN and a caffeine deficiency so thanks for being patient. I enjoyed working a string of strong raspy Scandinavians on 15m a few hours from the end - a classic auroral path. Picked up a few more band-fillers for the year too. K3 + kW amp feeding tribander and wires. Tnx to CQ Magazine and the contest adjudicators for our annual splurge. 73 CU 2016 de Gary ZL2iFB | ZS6A | SA HP ALL | Great contest as always | ZT6T | MSH | Run stn: Elecraft KX3 + SPE Expert 1.3K-FA. Mult stn: Kenwood TS-590SG + Expert 2K-FA. Antennas: Tennadyne T8 LogP, delta loops, rotary dipole | ZW5B | SO HP ALL | First time using Wintest in a serious SO2R entry. Needed more practice! |
