IH9PSO HIGH 15MWhat a birthday party it was! For the context: Six months ago I did not expected to go to Pantelleria in close future. But... In April I was celebrating my 50 and opened a gift from my awesome wife – and inside was 'voucher' for family vacation on loved island! Moreover, together with part of 'old' Pantelleria family team (my father and son). So we were together 6 - with my wife Jana OK3FLY and my 2 small daughters (3 and 6). And my 31st trip to IH9 began! Because I did not want to spend whole vacation by building antennas and moving whole SO2R setup, I decided for SB category. I wanted to enjoy the pileups and avoid torture on 40m (my favored band from IH9 but for CW only) so I have decided for 15m. Following my goal to make the best for the result I have prepared 3 antennas what I can easily erect with 3 people. It was 2x 4 el Yagi and 3 el tribander ECO, all 12 m high. The preparation was not so easy because of high winds (peaks about 85 km/h – 53 mph) but on Thursday evening I was already ready - including about half a day for sightseeing we spent every day. The Saturday was not so good – the band started to open more than 1 hour after sunrise. I made just 29 JAs and missed several mults from the AS and OC – they did not heard me nor called me. Fortunately the EU helped to keep the rate. In the afternoon the US stations were quite weak and I was really frustrated I made just about 100 of them – most zone 5, just few zone 4, no zone 3. But it was enjoyable to be called by K3LR, W3LPL and other big guns, hi. The band closed about 3 hours before the closing on Thursday! Sunday morning looked promising but I did not made ANY JA or other far east (VK, ZL, OC islands...). But even more Europeans were in the log and the US started to come afternoon. In the end I logged 388 from zone 5, 172 from 4 and just 4 from 3. It was interesting that the last US station from US was N6BT from 3, hi. The most 'active' calls in my log were from Germany (341), UK (200) and Italy (168). It was really fantastic contest and I did not experienced any serious problem. I missed double-mults like VK, ZL, other OC and also some Caribbean mults beaming and working just US. But it is part of the game. On Monday we were dismounting all antennas in rain and today we left the Pantelleria by ferry. Thanks to all for calling and answering! I want especially thanks to my wife for this perfect birthday gift and generally for support in my crazy hobby. Also thanks to others who helped me with preparation: all other family members, Joe IT9BLB, Vlada OK1CW, Petr OK1CZ, Venca OK6RA, Igor UA2FZ (Antenna Depot). RIG: SunSDR MB1 (I really love it on SSB), Acom 2000A, microHAM StackMax. ANT: 4el OWA home made, 4el 15M4-OWA by Antenna Depot, 3el tribander ECO (25 years old) - all at 12 m, 40 ft
