CQ 160-Meter Contest, CW 2002 Call: DL1IAO Operator(s): DL1IAO + packet Station: DL1IAO, DL0WW Class: MS QTH: JN48HV, JN49FO Operating Time (hrs): 12.8 Summary: Total: QSOs = 532 State/Prov = 17 Countries = 55 Total Score = 192,456 Club: Bavarian Contest Club Comments: TS870 CT v9.23 on 486 notebook Day 1 @DL0WW: 28m toploaded shunt-fed tower + mag loop (lots of QRN) Day 2 @DL1IAO: 17m INV L Planned to work 500 stations and then quit. Breaking some huge packet pileups (incl. PY0) with 2 or 3 calls using the short INV L was a nice surprise! JH5FXP came up to S7 for about 3min before he disappeared completely. Understand that NA condx were better the 2nd night, so certainly missed some western sections during my off-time. NA signal ranking first night: VY2ZMM - W8JI - W2GD (+ VO1's) 73, Stefan DL1IAO@contesting.com http://www.dl1iao.com
