We uploaded some pictures of May Contest, taken bei Georg, DL1ECG. Enjoy!

The guys of OM5M recorded our 23cm-signal over a distance of 821km, very nice, thank you!

A nice contest with sunshine and warmth. Problems included some minor damaged cables discovered during setup, some NF-related problems (humming) on 23/13cm, and a burnt connector near the antennas on 2m, likely causing the comparatively bad result on 2m, and costing us 90 minutes on 2m to find and fix the problem. On the other hand, after some changes to the setup, our 13cm rig survived the whole contest and played well, contrary to some of the previous contests. We hope to have that issue fixed now. Our new team members Timo, DL3TS and Philip, DL8PP (welcome!) did a great job and are strengthening our team considerably. Highlights included working TK5EP/P on 2m, and being called by GD0EMG on 70cm.
