CQWW CW?

[X-Rated]

Now you're talking. This is the only coRntest I participate in. My whopping 5WPM sending & receiving on a Radio Shack straight key shore do frustrate. :)

Hell. I took my code test in January, 1979. I don't even remember the code anymore.

I got 115 Q's in the contest, and a claimed score of 23,458 points. I did get AK and HI and St/ Croix for my US contacts. Noise was hell here between S5 and S7. So many stations I knew i could pull out if I didn't have the damned noise. I was strictly on 15M. But, it's a way to pass away half of the holiday weekend.

Just especially for the contest, I built a K5RP antenna for 15 and mounted it for horizontal polarization. (So it looks like a vertical antenna) Never used one before. It seemed to work out okay. I made a few contacts. Next year I am gonna have a monster quad up 500 feet and a QRO amp driven by an FT-DX9000. Oh yeah. I'm dreaming.

Alright! Here are my WW results.....ZF1A, RI1ANF and XE2X....yep, thats it.


I just got off an airplane so i had about an hour to play with the contest...an hour and all i got was 3 contacts.

Ill try my hand at the ARRL DX and 10m tests, and WPX. I missed this one because im trying to pay my mortgage.

Excellent. I made 4 contacts in the final 60 minutes. Get a load of these...

6Y3M
XR3A
XL3A
VE3AAQ

Looked impressive until you realize the XL call is Canuck.

Very nice. I saw some spots for the 7P, but never heard him.

Made about 60 Q's, just putzing around on Saturday evening & Sunday morning. Probably spent more time making some minor changes in the shack to accomodate the "new" dedicated PSK station; just have to re-rig some coax switching and verify everything is working.

Ended up with 483 Q's and 459,000 points.

Lots of good DX to be had over the weekend:
Tanzania
Senegal
Lesotho
Zambia
The Gambia
Cape Verde
Angola
Liberia
Namibia
Mauritania
Ascention Island
Canary Islands


And those are just AFRICA

I missed several hours on friday when my furnace crapped out
and several more saturday evening when the grand kids showed up.
My score should have been better, but the interruptions
made a big difference.

Great job Travis. I am envious.

Was this 40M or on different bands? Do you have your own station set up? What is your call?

Well I plum forgot about the coRntest anyway. I guess my next chance to pound brass (or the cheap, Chinese equivalent) will be on Straight Key Night.

160 Meter contest this coming weekend (CW Only), 10 Meter the weekend after (CW & SSB). No need to have to wait for SKN.

Grab another beer, strap on your Chinese brass ones, and go have fun. Or not. Up to you.

Excellent job. Sorry I confused you with LAZ.
