CQ 160-Meter Contest, CW 1999 Call: DK1NO Operator(s): DK1NO, DL1IAO, DL2CC Station: DK1NO Class: MS QTH: nr Stuttgart Operating Time (hrs): 41 Summary: Total: QSOs = 922 State/Prov = 36 Countries = 67 Total Score = 557,333 Club: Bavarian Contest Club Comments: 2x TS930 CT v9.23 on 386 notebook 37m toploaded shunt-fed tower + Reflectors NW, NE, SE RX: 3 Beverages (6 directions) + phased 2x 300m Beverage (NW) All the antenna improvements, both on the TX and RX side, made this a thrilling weekend! Apologies to ZS6EZ for calling us for 15 minutes without raising our attention. We also missed T7, JX and probably one or two Asian Multipliers. YV and XE were loud but it seemed hopeless to break thru the wall of US-stations. It was particularly interesting to hear other central Europeans (even DL) running W/VE at completely different times than we did with probably the same QSO total! 73, Stefan DL1IAO@contesting.com http://www.dl1iao.com
