Comments:
It was great to be back at Azores once again! More I go there more I love the
place, beautiful nature and friendly people of Azores. Itâ??s becoming like a
second home to me ;) Maybe some day Iâ??m even having an actual vacation there
without working with the station and hanging in towers...
But again this time it was all about the contest. I thought that WPX CW may not
be that interesting contest because of somewhat low activity and lacing
propagation. And how wrong I was! It was great activity during the weekend,
especially from Europe and propagation that kept me busy for the whole 36
hours. I was also very happy to work many of you whom I met at Dayton just a
couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I didnâ??t recall all of you guys hiding
behind special prefixes. But most of you incognitosâ?? were new multipliers, so
I donâ??t complain.
Iâ??m very happy to claim a new WPX CW European record from CU2X in our last
contest using that callsing. That was our 5th effort from new QTH and 4th
claimed new EU record (CQWW SSB, ARRL SB20 and SB80 and now WPX CW). So all the
work done for the QTH seems to pay off.
Trying to maximize the score from Europe forces us to â??avoidâ?? working
Europeans when ever thereâ??s possibility to work some DX. Once again most of
the time I was transmitting both, to Europe and to North-America but listening
always first only NA. If no NA stations came back, I was switching EU antenna
to RX. Having NA and EU coming with 90 degrees difference makes it almost
impossible to work any Europeans if only NA antenna is selected for receiving.
For that reason some of our friends in Europe may find it frustrating to call
us while CU2Xâ??s having somewhat loud signal in Europe but working only
North-Americans. Iâ??m very sorry for that, but thatâ??s really something that
one needs to do in place like Azores in order to maximize the score.
Than you all for QSOsâ?? and as always special thanks to Radio Arcala team
