Homemade SO2R controller and running home made software to integrate N1MM with OmniRig (PMSO2V/MM2OR). Good level of activity, lot?s of DX stations. Solar activity High. Better CONDX during Saturday than Sunday, somewhat difficult to work EU stations. However more number of stations on Sunday to compensate. Can not run more than 29 hours, mixed CONDX and sickness limitations All in all went higher than plan, very much fun and looking already to CQ WW CW!! |

| LZ2STO | SO LOW ALL | FT-857D, ANT1-Doublet, ANT2-Spiderbeam Many thnaks for the great Contest! Really |
| LZ2SX | SO QRP ALL | Great condition on higher bands ! We all enjoyed it especially QRP fellows.The lack of proper antennas for 40 and 80 forced me to try the same category.Ihave to say that having a good propagation on one hand and directional antenna on another-you will not feel as " a looser " on bands.Of corce you need to wait until BIG GUNS working the desired station before you but it gives you a time to find first another one.It was 100 percent Search and Pounce mode work ,and I had a fun to listen and work very rare DX stations.It is not true that QRP is just loosing a time even without DX cluster. I will try to improve my aerial setup before CQ-WW-CW and to test it in LZ-DX-Contest.Good oportunity for all CW contesters. Let condition be the same or litlle bit better... ;-) 73 Boyan / LZ2SX |

| N2EIK | SO HIGH 10M | It was great to be working 10 meters again! |
| N2FF | SA LOW 10M | This is a single band entry but I want the all band score to be assigned to YCCC and to the Order of Bolied Owls club competition. Great contest despite a Nor'easter that came through on Saturday with plenty of snow and wind we did not loose power or antennas. It was a good weekend to be inside and on the radio. I decided on single op assisted, single band operation for ten meters. I did make a number of contacts Friday night on 40, 20 and 15 meters and also on Saturday morning and evening when ten was not open. Those points go to YCCC and the Owls team effort. My all band score was 800 QSO's and 805, 143 points for almost 24 hours of operation. With winds predicted to reach 60 mph or more Saturday afternoon I kept my 3 element quad at 30 feet for the entire contest. As great as things were it would have been much better to have it at 50 feet. But that was a risk I was not willing to take at the first contest of the season. Also I had no problems with snow static. Some experts claim that is because it is not high enough. The splatter may have made up for the lack of snow static. I started on ten at 12:57 Saturday morning just as the band was opening here and it was go all the time pouncing on packet spots. I tried running once and made about five QSO's before someone moved in on top of my 100 watts. I decided I would be a "packet pouncer" for the rest of the contest figuring I would wast les time that way trying to establish run frequencies. Fortunately my mouse hand made it through without injury. I also did not bother to load the voice keyer with the contest exchanges. My voice lasted but my wife did accuse me of yelling at the radio. She pointed out correctly that would not have been good in a multi operation. In 40 plus years of marriage she has learned more than I realized about the contest addiction. In all I had six hours with rates above 40/hour and two above 60/hour. It's not running but I probably had more mults than were I running. When I threw in the tower at 2243 Sunday night I had a total of 800 QSO's with 588 of them on ten meters and some 124 countries and 31 zones for 265,050 points for ten meters. It has been a long time since I had 124 countries on ten meters in any contest. In fact I am not sure that I have ever had that many. While I did not set any record I believe that I did manage to increase my numbers for the DXCC Challenge. It will take me awhile to figure that out. On Sunday evening I developed the feeling that every male on Guam was a ham. I neve saw so stations from Guam on the air at the same time. Meanwhile thanks to all the great operators in far distant lands who listening for my signal and made it so much fun. Our ears are collective well splattered after this experience. It will be fun to read others summaries and adventures |
