October 2006
This October featured a contest with really mixed feelings: While it was raining an saturday morning and noon, after that it was a nice indian summer with a blue sky, warm sun, a rather cold night with clear sky and a nearly full moon. And while we enjoyed the performance of our new 2m dish for 23cm and 13cm and the flawless work of the 70cm and 3cm rig, Murphy visited us twice: 13cm only had an output of about 10w in the peak, and during the night break the 23cm PA stopped working and we had to finish the contest on sunday with the driver power of about 15w.
Anyway, we still nearly beat our best 70cm score, set new high scores for 23cm score, 23cm QSO average, 23cm grid square count, 23cm all-time-ODX (now OM3W with 858km), 13cm score and grid square count. Additionally, we heard OM3KHE for 904km on 23cm, and we were very near to finishing a 13cm QSO with OM3W 858km, but while they could copy our report perfectly, that nasty QSB forbid to copy their details, and after 15-20 minutes of fruitless trying, we aborted :-(.
Unfortunately, we could not benefit from the lifted conditions very much. Like in September, we could work a little EA and south-F, but no other really extraordinary things popped up, like that DX-QSOs between G and JO60 on all bands up to 10GHz on sunday.
See you again in 2007 as DR5A from JO30EM!
