Comments:
This is preliminary score as I'm having some troubles merging the logs as N1MM
logger has lost some QSOs on one of the computers.
Yet another field day style operation from us. Two days of building and one
full day of disassembling the station. One extra day in building was used to
tune up a new 40m beam.
Low bands were slow as expected but this time we didn't have a problem keeping
our frequency on 40m. We had a beam for the first time as we built one 2
element shorty from scrap aluminium from my back yard. There are pieces from
Cushcraft A3S beam, some parts from 20m 4 element monobander and boom was made
from some old 50mm / 2 inch tubing left from some project. The antenna would
never hold up in the winter time more than one contest but it isn't even
supposed to. It weights about 10kg in total.
Upper bands were great. I think 20m was open all the time and even 10m showed
some signs of living.
We had also for the first time fully automatic antenna switching. It is all
built around Microham double six switch which worked flawlessly.
In overall we really enjoyed and will be back in IARU.
