Thank you to Khun Champ to coming down to Kuala Lumpur for the CQWW
CW weekend.
Putting on a M2 contest operation was fun and a welcome change from
my usual
single operator contests. The category was really M1.5 and the two
stations were
effectively high band and low band as the 20m sloper picked up too
much RF from
the beam.
Conditions were OK on the high bands but excellent on the low bands.
80m was
outstanding and this was the first time I have been able to run
effectively from
9M2 on 80m despite just using a low dipole.
Highlights:
1. A 181 hour on 40m using an inverted V antenna!
2. DXCC on 15m, 20m and 40m.
3. Very low band noise on 80m for the first night with static the
second night
Lowlights:
1. Chinese OTHR radio that zapped 40m the first night. Grrr...
2. Some really embarassing callsign screw-ups by G4ZFE - JW1CCA
copied twice as
JJ1CCA, TZ5A as T95A, K5ZD as K5DD (now to haunt me thanks to K5ZD's
on-line
audio :-)
N1MM was great with only one crash during the whole weekend despite
only
learning about the multi-op features the day before the contest.
Thank you for all the QSOs.
