CQ Worldwide DX Contest, CW Call: LA5LJA Operator(s): LA5LJA Station: LA7TTT Class: SOSB/40 LP ASSISTED QTH: JP50 Operating Time (hrs): 17 Summary: Band QSOs Zones Countries ------------------------------ 160: 80: 40: 403 21 90 20: 15: 10: ------------------------------ Total: 403 21 90 Total Score = 56,943 Club: LA Contest Club Comments: My goal was 1000 qsos, ended up with 403... Turned on the radio att 0300z. So quiet..no North Americans??? Worked only one NA on 40 mtr this year W1KM was the only one who heard me this weekend ,no 'VE' Canadians att all... K3LR worked 1 LA Station...KC1XX worked 3 LA stations.(on 40 mtr) This says it all about the conds from Norway to NA. Conds was poor I think similar to the ssb part. Everything North of my qth 60°N was hard (impossible) to work. Frustrating to see spot from Denmark (500 km south of me) and when you go to the freq.you hear nothing... ******** NR4M say... Conds were terrible the first night and generally bad the rest of the weekend. ******** This statement is spot on..but as always CQ WW is fun.. |

Penquin on Heard Island. Photo from homepage VK0EK. I have been in Thailand for 14 days , comeback to Norway 8 April. Had to go in the easter time, not a good solution when you are MORE than hyper activ when it comes to ham radio................ But this trip was planed for long time and my big hope was to get some qso's with this dx-pedition during their last 3 days. I come home checked their log search and get a very bad feeling for this operation, they had been qrv 15 days and only have 63000 qso's. Woow that wasent much...that's what eu's need alone..... So I think what was they doing down there...playing Cards.... They had good antennas,a hot location and many op's....... Realy was this op's so bad.... Was lisen for them all Friday..not a bip on 10 to 20 mtr.. Suddenly they was spotted on 40 mtr cw on 7,016 mc in evening... Ok have no hope but heard him well, ok I give a Call 2 khz down 2 times 3 times 4 times....o'shit he was coming back to me LA5LJA 599 I quickly responded 599 TU... Worked him with 100w and the vertical GP7DX.... This evening was mine.. 1 hour later get him on 80 mtr cw On 80 mtr I have a broken gp .10 mtr high inverted U.. hihi Then later on 30 mtr cw and finaly the big ONE on 160m (W8AMZ sloper) 4 qso's in a very short time...3 New bands...low Power.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So I think this guy's have not been happy with the sun. The sun have not been a good teamplayer for sure. This guy's have made a very good job,had big ears for cw Well done guys .hope you reach 80000 qso's xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx After this evening ,my feeling was like the penquin on the photo ..the one on right side...

3C7A Equatorial Guinea Op was LA7GIA Ken from Norway. Photo borrowed from his qrz page This Dxcc entity must been high ranked at the most wanted list. His pile ups was hugh and so was the wide of it ,up to 40 khz the first days, had some fun hunting for him ,was zero beat many times. But this one was realy hard to break. But in the end I get some qso's,was not easy but Ken is a fb op, He made 13000 qso's in 8,5 days..thats a very good result. xxxxxxxxxxxxx But my god ,so much crying on the dx cluster...like.. please listen me,please 20 mtr,please ssb, please only dit and dat.. I realy dont understand this beggers...please try salvation army... You are not much of a dx'er when you start to begg...just a poor poor cb-guy....be a man..make better station and learn to break a pile-up. It's not hard....it's just to listen more than tx-ing.... I hope the Italien dx-team will be activ from 3C in the future... Many still need this one...I need a rtty qso... My qso's : All with 100w and GP7DX vertical

7P8C radio dx-pedition to Lesotho bye F6KOP Club members. They made 50180 qso's during their stay in February. 17297 unique calls. Very happy to made some rtty qso's, New one on rtty so thank you team. I think this was a little bit Hill Billies dx pedition.... They did some strange choice.... On 17 mtr ssb they was listen on 18,170 mc thats out of BAND.. On 17 mtr cw one night the op was saying ..I listen up...but he was running around inside the pile and makeing simplex qso's up and down 10 khz. On 160 mtr ,their choice was to stay on ssb, With very low qso rate. They was calling only for French station also and one op was calling for UK and EI only..that path isent exactly hard to work from Southern Africa.. It had been better if they was calling for VK/Zl only...... But it's their dx-pedition/Choice...Have order the qsl card via OQRS I made 7 q's and happy for that ,happy for 30 40 rtty qso's My Qso Box :

Qsl card from this radio dx-pedition. Photo borrowed from their homepage. This Italian dx-team are one of the best we have on the air. They handling out qso's very fast and their online log-check utility is the best. I made 12 qso's with them, very hard to get in log for me. Their signal was never over s7 on my qth, most qso's was made near the noise flor,struggled hard to get them on rtty on 15 mtr ,trying every day. Day 8 I made it on 15 mtr rtty,very happy New one on that mode...... They was annonced that rtty mode should only be on 15 mtr. The last day they where on , I was tuning over the 30 mtr band and till my big suprise they was calling cq on 30 mtr rtty.. 1st Call and then in log. Wooow I have spend many hours calling for that 15 mtr rtty qso and then only 1 Call on 30 mtr..so thanks for 2 rtty qso's They made 91242 qso's , 26935 uniques callsign. Only 8 op's Since my beam are stucked to the North my qso's was made on GP7DX vertical. My qso Box :
