March 2009
This March contest was characterized by the lack of operators. We only had 4 people setting up and taking down everything, and only 3 OPs for the contest (DF1LON, DK2CRN, DO7GG). Additionally, the last two days before the contest we got 10-15cm of fresh snow at our QTH, so that we could not do our pre-setup on friday because there was no way to pull our caravan-trailer to the QTH. We postponed everything to saturday, where we experienced much sun, only low winds and fast-melting snow, but also too less time to set up everything in time. Due to lack of operators, we omitted 3cm altogether, and 2m was only set up as a low-effort with a single 9el yagi to kill some time for the 3rd operator. Main focus was on operating 70cm and 23/13cm with full power. Still, we started late on all bands (70cm abt. 30min late, 23cm about 60min late). 2m was only operating for about 12 hours, SSB only.
70cm and 23cm ended up with very fine results. 70cm sported the highest score for some years for a march contest, nearly the best average per qso of every march contest, equalized our best number of squares worked in march from 2002 (49), and set a new record for worked countries in a march contest (13). 23cm was even better, with the highest score, highest number of squares (28) and countries (10) ever worked in a march contest.
13cm performed quite on average.
