EI7IGChecklogTook the opportunity to work a few new ones. Great fun!
EI7MMULTI-ONEAlthough we have spent a lot of time working on our station over the last twelve months, last year had been very kind to us with 10m being a star performer so we really did not know what to expect of CQWW 2012. Our summer project (new tower with 3 x OB11's) was in the air, but we had a really big push over the past two weeks to get everything working. At T-14 days we had no RF equipment in the shack as we had decided to gut it for insulation and painting :-) Thankfully, everything worked when we put the station back together .. a big relief! The contest started with good rates on 40m but quickly went downhill. We had huge s9 noise problems on the low bands, 160m especially, so at dawn we were a long way behind 2011. Matters improved greatly as we moved onto HF which was very good for us on saturday. We were delighted to finish with a score only slightly down on last year. Our poor start did not help, but conditions here were not as good as 2011 which was exceptional. Mult total is down (it is harder to get mults here than it is further east!) but qso total is up which would seem to suggest our hard work all year did help. Thanks to the crew who made the effort to travel (Pete G4CLA, Enda EI2II & Dan EI3JZ) and special kudos to Mark EI3KD & Neil EI3JE for 12 months of station building! Congrats to all in the M/S category for making it such fun. John, EI8IR
