May 2012

We already mentioned the problems we had just before contest with QRO for 70cm and that we needed to change it in the last moment. Well, everything looked quite nice in first few hours, but then in quiet time of the night we experienced real explosion...!!! One of capacitors blew up and caused the most interesting moment of the contest :-)

We needed about three quarters of hour to repair the power supply and continued on.

We have to say that conditions were quite good, so good that we improved the results from last year almost on all bands. Last, but not least is to mention our first 24GHz contest points from this location.

All in all, we are satisfied and quite happy with the contest results. Please don't forget to take a look to the contest statistics and photos in gallery I and gallery II.

Thanks all for the QSO and hope to see you again in June.
