UT1FG/MM qrv 6m 25/11 - May/2012


Yuri, UT1FG, will once again be traveling across the Atlantic Ocean and will be active from some "Wet grids" as UT1FG/MM between November 25th, through the end of May 2012. First trip will be from the Panama Cannal to Huelva, Spain (EA7), and then to Brunsbuttel, Germany (From there, he will inform us later). Yuri is reportedly a crew member on the ship, so activity will be during his free time.

Operations are expected on all amateur radio bands, 160-2 meters, 70 cm, and also including the satellite. His activities will be mainly through the satellite, but also look for him on the HF bands. He will also be active on 6 meters, conditions permitting. QSL via his home callsign, direct (see QRZ.com), by the Bureau or to his QSL Manager UX0FY.

CQ WW DX CW Contest - ED3T SOSB 15 HP


Contest is over.  

First, thanks to all who called me.

This is my first contest with the K3 and have seen how well it works with heavy signals. A big change from my old ic756proII.

In spite of sun flux was the lowest this November i had very good runs to JA and NA. Did not work zones 2 and 31 after doing +800 NA stations and beaming most of the time to KH6, a bit dissapointing. Also not worked z 38 and 39, only heard ZS2I calling several stations.

Goal was to get a new EA record on 15m, and did it with 150 Kpoints more.
Anyway will have to wait to see what have done other EA. 
Next year will focus on 10m. Will try to change the antenna for next 10 m arrl contest.
