CQ WPX CW 2012 claimed scores
Esta semana pasada CQ ha publicado los resultados provisionales del concurso CQ WPX CW 2012 celebrado el último fin de semana de Mayo (dias 26 y 27) en el cual participé en monobanda alta potencia en la banda de 10 metros como ED3T.
A la espera de los resultados definitivos parece ser que conseguiré la primera posición de Europa y la cuarta del mundo:
Single-Op High 10 Meters PW5D............6,757,114 (PY2ZXU) AY5F............4,933,932 (LU5FC) XQ1KZ...........3,651,712 ED3T............1,440,357 (EA3AKY) LU7HN.............970,140 WN1GIV/4.(T)......877,568 (N4BP) NR5M..............541,160 (N5NU) UR3LQ.............432,788 JA6WIF............432,540 GM1F..............319,160
Los resultados provisionales completos los podéis ver en la web de cw wpx: http://www.cqwpx.com/claimed.htm?mode=cw
Equipo: K3, ACOM 1000
Antena: 5 el LFA EAntena de 8,5 mtrs de boom a 20 mtrs de altura.
La propagación estuvo bastante bien, a pesar de no tener capa F2
este-oeste hubo buena propagación en 10 metros por capa F2 hacia surasia, VK y
ZL (VK y ZL tanto paso corto como largo) y hacia Africa, Suramérica y Caribe.
Los americanos entraban flojitos aquí arriba por side-scatter hacia
suramerica/caribe, los más fuertes solo, entre s1 – s3. También tuve buenas aperturas
por la mañana por multisalto capa E o SSSP, hacia JA por la mañana del domingo
(25 qsos) y hacia NA tanto el sábado como el domingo por la noche, entre 20 y
23 gmt… en total 240 en zona 3,4,5, los habituales a 6 metros conocemos bien
este paso !
Tuve problemas de sobrecalentamiento del ACOM 1000, pues
hacia mucho calor en el cuarto de la radio y además luego vi que la rejilla por
donde entra el aire estaba muy sucia, casi taponada, así que cogí el
destornillador y fuera!. También un ventilador ayudó un poco. La mayor parte
del concurso salí con 750 w.
También mencionar una avería de Endesa. Mi vecino estuvo sin
luz en toda la casa toda la mañana del sábado, pero en la mía solo fallaba una
fase y afortunadamente no era la de la estación de radio, ufff! Al final solo
cortaron una hora al mediodía y no afectó a los resultados.
El K3 con la nueva versión 4.51 de soft muy bien, sin ningún
click ni splatters, es una joya!

| 5el LFA EAntena 28 MHz + 6 el LFA 50 MHz |
La antena funcionó muy bien (adjunto una foto), mi enhorabuena a Rodrigo, bien
construida y parece que funciona, supongo que se me oía pues al final cayeron
1263 qsos sin dupes. Creo que ha pasado la prueba y se queda instalada para el WW CW. Añadiré un par de antenas más para buscar multiplicadores, una hacia
el Este y otra hacia el Sur.
Gracias por los QSOs a todos y espero contactaros de nuevo en el CQ WW DX CW de Noviembe.

My new QSL
Some weeks ago i received my new qsl and I forgot to show you. I hope you like it. It's a new picture of Collserola Telecom Tower in Barcelona, just few Km from my qth.
Back side: a picture of the Monastery of Sant Cugat, a Benedictine abbey in Sant Cugat del Vallès, my village. Founded in the 9th century, and built until the 14th century, it was the most important monastery in the county of Barcelona. It has its main feature in the large cloister, in Romanesque style.

St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks expedition qrv 6 m
The Araucaria DX Group, in conjunction with the TX3A Team, is pleased
to announce a DXpedition to St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks, PY0S, under
the call sign PT0S. The DXpedition will take place in the late November
to mid December, 2012 time frame. The actual dates will depend on
weather conditions and will be announced later on this website.
There has been an official ban on Amateur Radio activities from PY0S.
Although the ban, which was created for environmental and safety
reasons, remains in place, the Araucaria DX Group was given a special
permit by Brazil’s SECIRM (Secretaria da Comissao Interministerial para
Os Recursos do Mar), the Brazilian Navy, Ministry of Environment and
LABRE to conduct a two week long operation.
The operation will have a strong low
band focus. There will be a dedicated 160 meter station operating on 160
meters from sunset to sunrise. A second station will be on 80 and 40
meters at night. During the day we will operate two stations on the
higher bands — and 6 meters — based on conditions. RTTY will also be
supported.
The DXpedition’s goal is to give this rare and difficult entity to as
many amateurs as possible, taking maximum advantage of this unique
opportunity. The group will be using newly designed RX antennas and
receiving equipment to allow small and QRP stations to work PT0S on all
bands, but especially on 80 and 160 meters.
All QSO-s will be loaded onto LoTW within 36 hours of taking place.
Operators will be Fred Carvalho PY2XB (PY2XB/PY0F, PQ0F, VP5/PY2XB,
8P9XB), Peter Sprengel PP5XX/PY5CC (PY0FM, PW0T, HK0NA). Tomi Pekarik,
HA7RY and George Wallner, AA7JV. Due to environmental considerations, we
have been limited to four operators.
