| One of the 4-squares |
One of the largest radio contests of the world, the CQWW DX SSB contest, will be held this upcoming weekend. We will take part as PA6AA again from Westpolder, Hornhuizen JO33dj. An excellent and quiet contest location near the sea. It is not only the contest but also the fun building the station and improve things. I can't reveal much about the setup we use yet, I'll do that after the contest. However, the fun has begun. The first antenna "tower" made of a scaffold has been build yesterday evening and today 4sq arrays for 40m and 80m have been made. We will setup more towers and antennas next few days. Imagine, it takes 5 days to set everything up and then we have to clean up mondaymorning in a few hours.
I hope to work some of you readers. At least if you hear us this weekend give us a shout. I will be on one of the radios at dutch daytime.
Veel succes en plezier met z'n allen!

DeleteGood luck my Dutch friends! Enjoyable indeed is the setting up process!
ReplyDeleteAnd the damage we already had on the antennas. It gives an extra dimension on it all. Unfortunately I have to be at my job, but I trust my fellow contest operators will fix it all....will you listen for us John? 73, Bas
