CQ WPX RTTY 2016 1st time in M/S category - NEW EU record
After a many years in SOSB categories, for the first time we chose the
“king” M/S category. Finally, it was a good choice and great fun topped
with a new European record !
But from the beginning. The start of the contest
did not look very good - two broken PAs before the start, lost one rotator and
CONDX on 40 meters were realy terrible during the first night from central EU to USA. Fortunately the second night
were mutch better on 40 meters and also 80
meters had good activity. Beyond that, the upper
bands went well and the total activity was also good.
We are
satisfied with all bands and totally worked 101 DXCC, 621 x
NA and 339 x JA.
Special Thanks to Jan OK2ZAW, who done an excellent job
again and ALL the equipment worked perfectly!
