May 2007
May contest was one with mixed feelings. We enjoyed some nice weather and everything seemed to be alright until we tried to transmit on 2m and discovered a fault in our FT-1000MP TRX. Repair attempts of over 2 hours led to a late start on 2m at 14:33 UT. Shortly after that, 13cm died (again) after just one QSO. Taking down the antenna and trying to solve the problem cost another 2 hours of operating time on 23cm. We could not get 13cm back to work (needless to say that it works again flawlessly when tested at home, grrrr).
2m was generally slow in terms of QSOs, and so we finished with a rather meager number of QSOs and score, but nice tropo conditions to Scandinavia brought big fun. 7 LA and 9 SM are new all-time-bests. Thanks to Stefan, LA0BY, for nice tropo ODXs on 2m and 70cm. The south-LA beacons had a really big signal starting saturday evening. But beside that, the usual “East-South-East”-path worked well, with stations like 9A5Y, SN9D, OM50KHE, OM8A, OK2KRT, OM3KII, OM5M (all > 800km) in the log. 70cm was working out very well, with a very satisfying score, and 4 LAs in the log! We even worked S5 on 70cm, a rather rare event. 23cm was also quite nice regarding the circumstances: 3 OZ stations in the log also show the nice conditions to the north. 3cm was quite normal, except for the exceptional tropo QSO with OZ1FF, giving us a new tropo ODX by far, wow!
