I have spent some times cqing during a Scout Camp! I have made some calls especially on 40m from 27th december 2009 to 29th.

My conditions were: FT-857 and mobile antenna PROXEL PRO-X1, only 100W.

IMG_0055

I have obtained very good results from this antenna, it works really fine altought its dimension, I have heard strong signals from europe, but also incredible signals from USA at sunrise until also midmorning. I think these unbelievable results are due to particular 40m conditions in this period!

My little antenna was supported by some wires as radials with 1/4 lambda length for 40m and a magnetic base positioned on an alluminium chimney. With this setup I have noticed a good performance, especially in RX.

I have used the same setup from JN66BM Cortina, on the Dolomiti. In that case I had a great ground by the metal roof, but there were mountains that have attenuated all signals…. In the last case I was near the sea….

The logbook is been uploaded into my main online logbook so you can research your qso with me without problem!!!

40&80 2009 un gran divertimento

Forse è stato il contest più divertente che ho mai fatto, certo non stiamo parlando del CQWW o altri con nomi importanti, stiamo parlando semplicemente del contest italiano in 40 e 80m che si svolge ogni anno il primo weekend di dicembre sotto l’egida organizzatrice della sezione A.R.I. di Bologna.

Ricordo l’anno scorso, avevo ancora il mio caro ic-706, in quell’occasione ebbe un tracollo verticale, ovvero andò in fumo la scheda di gestione delle correnti dei finali e portai avanti il contest praticamente in qrp e con la consapevolezza di dover buttare la radio….Poi le antenne erano semplici dipoli filari.

Oggi le cose sono molto cambiate, radio nuova, un bel FT-950, e soprattutto le antenne nuovo, in 40m una moxon full size autocostruita con le mie mani e in 80m un dipolo filare anche questo autocostruito dai fili al balun centrale 1:1 con toroide e cavo teflonato.

The incredible David 6Y1V has done the Young Ham selection also this year!

6Y1V09

This year he has chosen 3 guys to make the CQWW CW 2009 from 6Y1V SuperStation. After my trip in Jamaica I thought that CW was passed and of little interest for me. David, instead, surprises me with him keyer! He was superfast and the sounds of TI – TA were music to my ears.

Since my return at home I have tried the CW. At this moment I’m making many CW QSO, my keyer is my PC, I don’t deny it! But now I’m able to understand my callsign and standard reports…

So, after this, I’m not surprised by the choice of David! He wants to encourage the HamRadio among young!

I think that will be a great experience for these guys, certainly one of the best in them life. So a very good luck to Roger EA3ALZ, Alex OZ7AM, Alex RV9LM, you will learn many things by David, these will be a treasure for you!

After the night of rest is time to analize the amazing results of the best ham radio contest of the year!

Friday I had received a phone-call by my friend Fabio IZ7NLJ: he said me that there was an incredible opening in 10m during the morning with some VK and other asian stations listen with good reports. It was a very good news, I have rushed on the net to search some feedbacks and I have found this fine article by G0KYA .

So there were very interesting premises….

And now, after a great fun, these are the results:
