Hi,
During a 14 hours battle of the contest I logged 57 NA on the first night and 72
on the second night. Making DX both nights were pretty tough. The DX window
appeared to be very narrow for those 6-7 stations who wanted to CQ.
I called about 75-80% of the stations and only about 20-25% answered my CQ.
Assessing the CONDX from Hungary it was rather a one way situation. Even
stations who were ?booming? sometimes with 589 were difficult to work with.
(May be their QRM or very narrow filter settings were the problem)
Called N4BP along with many others but he couldn?t copy me. Same story with
K3EST. The strongest station was W2GD (559-599) then VE3EJ with pretty stable
signal (559-589) and VY2PX who was 579 almost all the way.
KC1XX, K3WW, K1TTT, W4MYA were around 559-569 and only seldom they were
stronger. K9DX was also 559- 599 but most of the time he was weak.
On the second night around 00:30 z K3OQF was pretty strong then went down to 569
later.
On the first night between 03:20 and 06:00 z I heard mostly W5 land and it was
easy to work them. Some signals were 579-599. (13 W5: STX, NTX, MS, AR, OK)
First night N7DD was 339 and many EU were calling him but I didn?t even try.
On Saturday morning my last QSO was at 06:10 and on Sunday condx ended at
05:10.
All in all it was very tiring but great fun. That was the initiation of my new
IC 7800 that I bought 10 days ago.
73, Gyuri HA5JI
