First of all, thanks to Toffy, DJ6ZM, from who was hosting my once again for
the CQWW. Over the last years he has built a very competitive station and it's
always a pleasure to operate from there. Thanks!
After SOAB HP for a few years, I decided to do SB40 this year. 40m has been in
an excellent shape over the last weeks and the 18-year-old DL record by Y42MK
(now DL5AXX) seemed quite possible to beat. If the figures at cqww.com are
correct, those 716k points from 2051 QSOs and 108+36 mults mean the pts/QSO
average was almost 2.5! I figured something around 2.0 would be more realistic
for me, but 2250 QSOs, 35 zones and 135 DXCCs are feasible and would give me
765k points.
The contest started well with a 142 hour and QSOs kept flowing in at good
rates. 1000th QSO was logged around 11z. Rates in the daytime were still great,
with a little lower point average. I kept running almost for the whole Saturday,
and finished Saturday with 1700 QSOs and almost 90 DXCCs (all on CQ!). US
propagation went down a little after sunrise but recovered quickly until noon.
JAs started to come in around noon, so there was not a long EU-gap to bridge.
DX around the clock, amazing. On Saturday afternoon I was fortunate to hold a
very clear spot at 7009 and was called by an amazing number of Asian and OC
multipliers, absolute highlights were FK8KAB and H44MY. CE0Y/SM6CUK calling me
in the first night was also a great moment.
Activity from JA seemed excellent, over 110 QSOs. Ten BYs, even two BVs. Three
times KH6, twice short path, one long path. And a KL7 on Sunday morning,
something I didn't expect to happen.
I stayed up for the whole 48h but only spent a total of 44h or so on 40m. I
took two breaks, two hours on Sunday morning and the last 2h, to let DL3OBQ
(who operated all other bands at DJ6ZM's station during the weekend) catch some
mults and QSOs on 40m. I had a busy week at work before the contest but managed
to get enough sleep each night and slept (or rather tried to) 3h before the
contest. On Sunday evening around 18 UTC my mental capabilities quickly melted
away and I seriously had no clue what I was doing. During a good run I forgot
what those letters and figures I exchanged were, why I had to send 5nn14 to
everyone and why we do all this stuff at all. Of course when I concentrated
hard, I could get a vague picture of it, but my mind wandered off and thought
the strangest things about it. Yes, at one point I somehow thought I was a
clerk in a shop who traded 59914s for 59905s to customers with names like
DL1XYZ. I was putting my sales on a long list on my computer. Later I tried
without success to explain to myself the nature of the signals I heard, how the
VFO knob influences the signals etc. I was very sure that the place where I was
(frequency) must be some three dimensional structure since it had such a
complex sound. I forgot for quite a while that there was a rotator which I
could use to point the antenna to some other direction. I forgot that there was
an antenna involved too, for that matter. I didn't realize it was telegraphy I
copied. I could not explain to myself why I would do all this. Did I tell that
at one point, pulling a weak JA out of the noise, in my sleep deprived mind,
equaled to diving through some muddy pond where you had to find the exit? Now
you know.
Strange enough, although I had no definite idea of what I was doing, I just
continued to make a lot of QSOs and the rates were okay. Also, when someone
walked into the shack I was able to communicate normally and as soon as I was
not focused on the radio, my mind was rather clear.
Somehow, in the last hour, after a strong coffee and a quick toilet break, I
suddenly felt much better and finished the contest almost knowing what I was
doing.
The final result is very close to what I expected. A few more QSOs, more Zones,
less DXCCs, but I am very happy. The station worked flawlessly, the QRM from
DL3OBQ working on 80m was usually not a problem and I could hear pretty well.
Not bad for two antennas on the same boom! Unless in that state of sleep
deprivation I did some major stupidities, the record should make it through the
log check.
This was probably *the* year for SB40. It was fun, but I will rather do allband
again next year....
