Audio Recordings of DX QSOs in September Contest

Finally i prepared the audio snippets of all the DX-QSOs > 800km we made during the September Contest. During the night, we started to have some gaps and skips in the recording, so at times especially our CW sounds very distorted or plain wrong. That is only in the recordings, and not due to our faulty keying :-). Enjoy!

GM4ZUK/p IO86RW 922km SSB, becoming a regular (371kb)
OM3CQF JN88RT 820km SSB (231kb)
G4LOH IO70JC 824km SSB, with some intentional QRMing, but he easily beats it (164kb)
F8DBF IN78RI 825km mixed CW/SSB (602kb)
S57C JN76PB 825km SSB, rather weak (285kb)
SN9D JN99MQ 908km SSB, big signal! (181kb)
OM50KHE JN99JC 904km SSB, easy (309kb)
OM8A JN87WV 884km CW, not easy (797kb)
9A5Y JN85PO 977km CW (474kb)
S57O JN86DT 836km CW, not easy (958kb)
OK2KJT JN99AJ 844km SSB, quick’n'easy (177kb)
ED1RCM IN73TA 1167km SSB, not strong but on a clear QRG (272kb)
S51ZO JN86DR 842km CW unfortunately not recorded
OK2KYC JN99BM 846km CW (350kb)
Starting from here severe gaps and skips in the recordings:
OM3W JN99CG 859km CW (393kb)
OK2KRT JN99CL 853km CW (355kb)
OM3KOM JN98DV 875km CW (476kb)
OM3KII JN88UU 836km CW (452kb)
OM5M JN88SS 827km CW, a long long fight, but finally successful (1.21mb)
I4XCC JN63GV 871km SSB (255kb)
EA2BFM/p IN83FE 1109km SSB, strong! (270kb)
F5FLN/p IN94UT 807km SSB (225kb)

If your QRB to us is below 800km, but you want to know how you sounded at JO30EM, just drop me a line, and i will extract our QSO from our recordings.

September VHF Contest is over…

I updated the site with our September VHF Contest claim. All in all it was a nice contest without equipment failures, with some lifted conditions and nice (dry) weather. We already experienced worse in the years before :-).

We tried to record the contest as MP3, but after the contest we discovered a potential problem with the recordings made, but we still have to look into the files and decide whether they are usable. In that case, we will upload some sound snippets of exceptional QSOs to the site.

EDIT: The audio recording are now available here.
