ARRL 10M Contest

The past weekend was again the ARRL 10M Contest.This contest covers the whole weekend,48 hours.

I was a little afraid about the propagation.The 10M band was for a few weeks ago better then it was the week before the contest.But everyone who knows how the 10M band can be,there's always hope,hi.

Saturday morning when i put on the radio it was very quiet on the band.Nothing in SSB and very low signals on CW.So it didn't look very well.
Kept monitoring the band and also an eye on the Cluster...Saw in the Cluster that other parts of Europe had very good openings.Some of the best DXCC's for DX/propagation are for sure EA8,5B,ZC4 etc.

My best DX was ZS6BRZ.The total qso's came to 26 in the log.

Yesterday i got a very nice suprice by the post.Award from the ARRL 10M contest 2009.
I was 1st in the Netherlands in the Low Power section..

4 opmerkingen:

  1. Hoi Bernard, gefeliciteerd. Ik was eerste in 2007 geloof ik. Mooi aantal QSO's genoeg voor 1 punt in de afdelingscompetitie. Kwam ik lang niet aan met 5 QSO's :-( 73, Bas

  2. Good morning Bernard, as for the 10 meter contest you had 26 more contacts than I did. I checked throughout the weekend and there was just nothing out this way to be had.

  3. Congratulations on the award! I hope to hear a ZS on 10 meters someday but I don't hear them very often even on other bands. I'm hoping it only gets better!
