Due to an error that went unnoticed until the end of the contest, we only recorded the first 3 hours. So i decided to cut out all QSOs > 500km during that first 3 hours.

Times are in GMT, and they are all SSB.

Enjoy!

This year, Murphy decided not to visit our equipment, but our “human resources”. Gregor, DH6JR, had to visit the hospital due to gall bladder problems on saturday, and unfortunately had to stay there. We hope he will recover soon and join our team again in October. On the hardware side, everything went smooth, and we used our two systems of 4×9el and 4x Big Wheels (vertically stacked) to fight against mediocre conditions. The final result is very similar to the two previous years with the usual bunch of DX from 9A, HA, OM, S5, GM, SP and I, but only the well-known big guns. Finally, we missed the 700-QSO-barrier only by a hair.

On the downside: only one SM station, only 4 OZ, and activity from PA and ON is on a further decline.

We recorded the whole contest, and audio snippets of the best DX QSOs will be uploaded soon.

See the details here.

EDIT: Some audio is now available.

According to the October 2007 IARU results, we did quite well:
70cm: 8. place of 141
23cm: 5. place of 106
13cm: 7. place of 54
3cm: 18. place of 58

And overall result:
9. place of 155, and the best ranked station running only 4 bands!
