This year I say to my self,why not take part in All Asia CW-test.
Since my yagi is locked to about 60* degrees,
it will be perfect to try to work some Asian stations.
So between garden work and tv watching I spent some hour's in
this test this year, personal best score for me this year.
Worked more Japan station on 20 mtr this weekend ,than I have
worked the last three years,so I think the conds was ok...
Best qso was 9V1YC on 15 mtr and XU7AEY on 20 mtr...very happy
dxcc #185 and #186 this year for me, not bad on low Power...

12 JUNE *RUSSIA's DAY* AWARD

Had no plan for this one ,but ended up with 333 qso's.
Not much dx worked, but happy to see 10 and 15 open for eu.
For me is rtty  fun, I make a lot of FT8 qsos but FT-mode
is so boring.... Ooouuuh... we have a 'loser' a frequency police dude
on 20 mtr band.. he tryed to move me from 14101...14105...14108
He was sending QSY  QSY  Rtty not allowed...but he sent Rtty also.
He also sent my callsign severals times, try to help me with the
callers.. I think your life must be very boring...nothing else to do??
Sorry for you...I can not help you .....TRY a doctor...

Great weekend,ham radio contesting at is best.
Great activity, had hoped for full 36 hours for
me in the contest, but I started late on saturday
about 06:30 gmt, due to some flue symptoms.
Put up a new full size vertical on 80 mtr on thursday
before the contest, worked great,was tired before the contest.
But stayed in the seat for 30 hours,not much dx worked.
Yagi is locked to 80 degrees east,on 10-15-20 i worked
about 720 qsos on my vertical *GP7DX* antenna,my mults are down
due to this, mostly eu qso's worked, need to get my yagis to work again.
Was amazed about how good shape 10 and 15 mtr was, so I spended a
lot of time there,result i missed some qsos on 40 mtr,many 2 pointers lost.
Should have made at least 600 qsos on 40, but i feel i had a lot of
fun on de other bands, so it make up for my mistake's...
The bands was crowded to the end, 20 and 40 was full till the last minut.
Not much dx worked, but this is a prefix contest...and prefix we have
a lot of in EU...I think we have 50% about the contesters in the world also..

My set up for the contest was:

FTdx5000 set to 100 watt. ( I love this radio)
Antenna: 10-15-20 GP7DX vertical up 10 mtr,720 qso's
Antenna: 10-15-20 Optipbeam 11-5 (so pity cant turn it) 140 qsos
Antenna: 40 Optibeam 40-30 Dipole (can not turn,buhuu my self)
Antenna: 80 20 mtr vertical with 4 elevated rads. (My Tumb up for this)
Antenna: 160 slooper from Tower

So a big thank you to all of you that heard my tiny signal.
Maybe my log check report will take me hard,I was running the whole
contest without head phones....my cat like my head phone much..I think..
he had eated up the silicon cable on it, so I hope he get saturated..
Lesson learned ..give him more food...when he say..Miiiauuuu....
Have a great summer to all of you...wife is still Corona stucked in here
orginal country...so I have a lot of time to spend in the radio
so I hope to see some of you again in contests...CW is king...

VP8PJ ....My thoughts..

VP8PJ

**THE BIG ONE FOR ME IN 2020**

Yes indeed..... I needed this one on Phone mode...

I only have #337 confirmed on Phone mode..

and YES a big YESSS I did it # 338 in log Phone mode..

Made a qso on 17 mtr Phone, not easy with low

power and a vertical, already confirmed on LOTW. 

On Phone mode I only miss 3D2-Fiji and

XF4-Revilla Gigedo ,Fiji should be easy but have my doubt

about the other one....but would have been Nice

to have them all on ssb/phone mode....

For the record's photo from homepage M0URX.

My qso Box.

Not bad....look carefully..no qso on 20 mtr...

I'm so Lucky to have a neighbor that buy the cheapest

led lamps that you can find on ebay...Have a s 9 noise on 20 mtr

the most of the time, very difficult to make any qso at all on

that band, so I miss South Orkney on 20 mtr still.

In 2011 VP8ORK was qrv, i did not like their work style at all.

Only made 1 qso with them on 40 mtr cw, so I was realy

happy when I made the 1st qso with VP8PJ 40 mtr FT8

Not new band but new mode ,I made this qso on the

4th day they was qrv, smal guns must wait till the big amp's guy

have made theirs 1st qso and I think after they make some dupes also...

Opps  i make a dupe qso also  17 mtr  FT8...

They made a great show 83782 qsos and 20521 unique calls in log.

They was Activ from 23.February to 6. March 2020.

I get 3 New bands, 2 New modes and to my surprise 80 mtr FT8 qso.

On FT8 I'm running 100 watts from my Icom-706....amazing mode FT8.

Photo from VP8PJ homepage.

From the radio tent on South Orkney....

To my big surprise..I can se my 80 mtr FT8 qso on

the PC-screen......and the Earth is flat.....
