Contest weekend

In the past weekend,i was again active in a few Contest.

It started friday evening with the Russian PSK Contest.In this contest you could use three kinds of PSK modes,or better to say,three different speeds.PSK31,PSK63 and PSK125.
The last one,PSK125,is very fast,even faster then in RTTY mode.
You could work all stations in all modes,but not direct.There must be 10 minutes betwen the contact before you could change mode with the same station.
Result was 113 QSO,with some nice ones as:
E21YDP and 9M6XRO.

Saterday was the UBA CW contest,but i was till around 18:00 UTC busy collecting PSK QSO's.After that,there was not much active anymore in the contest.Made 7 QSO's and started again on sunday morning.I stopped with 100 QSO's.All made on 20M.
Also not one Belgium station in my log,because i live to far from them for that and too close for the propagation we have in daytime.

After the Russian PSK contest on saterday,i did hear alot of signals on RTTY.
I did look and saw alot of stations from NA.They where active in the NAQP Contest.
It was a very big suprise to see and work NA stations this late in the evening.
Last made on 20M was at 21:16 UTC,22:16 Local time.
Most of the days the 20M band is closed at this time.
Worked 31 Stations in that Contest,23 on 20M and 8 later on 40M.
Here you see the log from this:

  1. Interessant, zo laat nog, zouden er toch een paar sunspots geweest zijn?. Ook op 40m ging het goed zie ik. Heb ik helaas gemist. Vandaag nog wel een paar nieuwe (band)dxcc gewerkt hier (30m VR2XLN en 20m 9G1AA). Maar ging erg slecht, vooral 20m. Ontvangst is hier prima, maar het lijkt we of vandaag niemand mij hoorde? Heb zo ie zo nieuwe DXCC gemist (DU en 3DA0 op 20m).
