May 2009
This may contest was dominated by our lack of operators: While at first the situation did not look too bad (thanks to Heike, DJ8SP, returning to our group at least on friday and saturday), due to some short-term illnesses and severe back pain of DL1ECG) we were only 3 people to finish our setup on saturday, only 4 people to run 5 bands during saturday, and only 3 people during parts of sunday before finishing with 4 people for the last contest hours and taking-down. Last chunks of work have been finished by Lars, DF1LON, and me, DL1ELY, more then 4.5h after contest end. This strain also shows in our results.
The 2m band suffered most with an late start of over 2h, and a night break that easily extended into sunday morning. We only operated about 14h there, but used a second antenna (2 stacked big wheels) in parallel to our usual 4×9el. Given that, the result is quite OK (429 QSOs, 119.000 Points, ODX OM3W JN99CH, 836km).
70cm saw 19h of operating time with a night break. Here we performed quite well (313 QSOs, 94.000 Points), and bagged a nice ODX of 927km with SP2JYR in JO92, a QSO that is not quite usual. the result was nearly as good as the very satisfying one from last May, and was only surpassed by the October tests since 2005.
23cm was operated for about 17 hours, and while the conditions felt rather bad, a nice number of QSOs with G and some occasional DX to the east finally led to a very good result (117 QSOs, 35.600 Points, ODX OK2KYC JN99BM, 846km), that exceed our old best-May-result by a whopping 50%. But still, many QSOs with “regulars” to the east and Italy did not work, despite several tries.
13cm was rather disappointing (22 QSOs, 5.400 Points, ODX OE5VRL/5 JN78DK, 617km), with a low number of skeds from 23cm turned into successful 13cm QSOs. Conditions did not seem to be right.
Also 3cm suffered from the lack of operators, so it could not operated as we wished, but skeds from 23 and 13cm finally led to a satisfying result (19 QSOs, 3.400 Points, ODX DL6NAA, JO50VF, 386km) for that band in that conditions (no rain scatter). But we had wished to have more time for longer running skeds, than the result would have been even better.
We hope to be better staffed in July contest, where we will be running all 5 bands again.
