Comments:
For the third year in a row a group of youngsters invaded the station for CQ WPX
Phone. This year a group of 11 hams from Sweden, Skåne, Netherlands and Belgium
joined the team.
Propagation was fair, with good runs on Saturday but very slow on Sunday. No
major disasters occurred except for the dirt road that collapsed due to heavy
rainfall, and we had to tow a couple of cars. Four operating positions were
used in the shack, and for the first time in history we had working voicekeyers
on all positions. Audio was reported to be good, even if some of the DVK
recordings were not perfect.
The event was broadcasted on Youtube, and the clips are still available. This
year we used a quick solution for the streaming, using Hangouts, but it caused
us to start a new stream every hour. This could have been fixed with better
preparations before the contest. Operating position A was broadcasted with both
RX and TX audio, but were dependent on the MONITOR level selected by the
operator. An improvement could be to add a frequency display, for the audience
to know were we were operating, maybe a violation of the rules BUT remember
this is an attempt to promote hamradio and contesting in this ageing hobby.
