September Contest 2007

DR 2 X
in JO4Øql on 144.355 MHz

We thought about canceling the contest because of the weather forecast, but finally were QRV. On Saturday it was raining all the time and we had no chance to set up our antennas. But finally around 9:30 the rain got less and we decided to start with with antenna. As you can see on the picture below we finally made it. Everything was fine for the first four hours of the contest. QSO rate was not too bad and we worked some DX from time to time. But then the generator failed. But we were lucky that we could go on with reduced power on our backup generator. Trying to fix the problem failed.... Anyhow if you consider this trouble it worked out very well. The conditions were above normal and we even worked a couple of stations from the UK which is not so easy from our location. We tried a few times with stations in EA3 and EA1 but the duct was not into our direction. We tried to catch the 1000QSOs but jsut missed it by 6 QSOs.
Lets hope we can fix the generator till the Marconi contest in November again.
