M/S almost as a S/S
|
Due to sickness and low interest in our club it was mainly my fun operating TF3IRA. Of 3160 contacts made, I worked about 2800 of them. Had a lot of fun, but almost still missing my voice 2 weeks later.

Great weekend for casual contesting, as I am not that much
into SSB operation.
Enjoyed it with the good conditions.

I've had a plan to work on 80m...But because of antenna problems, I decide to work 10 meters... Over 3k qso's isn't bad..:)

Causes doubts...
|
It would be desirable to make any small record of local character...
It is a pity, that some hours of night time were silent - on our nodal relay station was conducted the scheduled preventive maintenance with closing of communication channels :(.
But at morning, working with South America, has received considerable pleasure!..
Thanks for all!
..I had have worked 460 QSO,25 Zones,73 countries with suummary something about
106.000 (SOSB-80)
In any way,a result of UW9AF, shown in 1983, at such quantity QSO, causes doubts (look a sheet of records).

10 hours of power failure at SV9CVY
|
Ten hours without any QSO really hurt, of course... Here is my story:

weather wiped me out
|
I was planning a semi-serious 10m low power entry. Lake effect snow ( 24 hr toatl abt 8")
brought down trees, along with my slopers and inv l. The ice and snow on the C3E were so bad I couldn't get the swr down
on 10m so tried a 15m entry which was almost as bad. Not until afternoon on Saturday when everything melted was I
able to play radio...did enjoy a couple brief but exciting EU runs. Ended up doing an
low power assisted 10/15/20 with almost 800 qsos...I like cw better anyway!

I must improve low bands.
|
I am 22 years old and this was my first CQWW by myself. I had operated for CE4TA Multi-Single station in 1999 and 2000 and I wanted to try on my own this time.
10m was quite good, I could have continued there but I had planned a minimum quota for each band. 20m was not very good and I need better antennas for 40m and 80m. I have only a wire for those and it's not high at all.
Rigs: TS-430S Kenwood transceiver, MC-60 Kenwood microphone in VOX, Sony headphones. I MUST get a Heil, hi hi.
I hope to finish a small page at www.qsl.net/ce4u for claimed score, notes and comments by the end of this week.
Mistakes: I got a small cold on Friday, I didn't sleep enough on Friday, I didn't operate in 40m and 80m on Saturday, and I must get a Heil mic.

Much worse than anticipated
|
I did much worse than anticipated, I think it was due the propagation (not good for SA),
the big thunder storm on all sunday, and I was very tired, because I work a lot on Thursday and friday (under a hot sun and 35 celsius of temperature) installing new antennas for 40, 20 & 10 meter, but a problem in a 20 meter yagi one hour before the start of test, forced me work SB 15 meter.

TVI what TVI ?

Serious TVI problems with at least three neighbours. A fourth doesn't notice RF on the air ... a template to copy!

This being my first serious contest, I assumed the worst. But actually, I did great for the first time (in my opinion). 243,243 isn't bad.
