OL5YSA LP ALLMy first serious effort with SunSDR MB1 TRX as a main radio and my IC756 as a second. Because of some technical issues I had to swap them and use MB1 as secondary. But because of the fact that I was 95% S&Ping almost nothing was changed. The MB1 is excellent - just a different class. For serious contest use it needs some "tuning" of the SW (my opinion) but developers are quite listening to my comments so I believe that for the next contest it will be usable for me as a main radio. There was written many stories about horrible CONDX on second day - it's tangled my stratedy too. Just one sentence - on Sunday on 20m I heard just around 20 US/VE stations but got through 5 only - the same on 40m on Sunday morning and the same before the end of the contest... But finally I am quite glad with the result. Thanks to all who heard my call and SN. RIG: SunSDR MB1 + IC756, microHAM MK2R+, Station masters, Stack master, switches... ANT: 3el tribander ECO @ 19m, stack of SpiderBeams @ 17+25m, 2-el Quad for 40m @ 25m, Inv. V for 40/80/160m @ 19m SW: N1MM+

P44XM2After one week of station and antenna optimization, first serious effort to beat existing Aruba M/2 record. Lost 90 minutes operating time due to power failure and thousands of QSOs due to propagation failure (CME). Nevertheless, result is very satisfying and we had a lot of fun
PA0MIRSA HP 20MAs expected not much on 15 and 10 m except for a little ES propagation, but 20 was very busy and hard to find a place to run but had fun reaching my 500 QSO goal in spite of 30 C temperature in the shack. Did not try 80 and 160 this time in order not to disturb neighbors computer in spite of all the crud heard on these bands nowadays

PA3FYMSA LP 40MThis CQWPXCW fell in a popular radiocamp weekend in The Netherlands. Just before the contest we heard that this weekend was also the last weekend on the location where it was organized for almost 60(!) years. In order to say 'goodbye' I installed up my favourite FYM-DX-40m deltaloop. To participate in the contest, but also to demonstrate my friends that with simple means it's possible to work lots of DXCC during a world wide contest provided that you use an antenna with a good and known radiation pattern. I had no intention to create a monster score but to cherry pick some nice and workable DXCC countries. Equipment: barefoot FT-857 (ca. 70W output) with K3NG Winkeyer + N1MM+. Antenna: FYM-deltaloop (vert. pol.), apex. 12m and matched with a 4:1-unun. 73, Remco PA3FYM
