Received results of CQ WW SSB 2008 there is several club stations DQed UU7J,9A1P,9A7A,E7DX

Just listened for two of them (could not resist lauhging, but physicians say laughing is health-giving).

The methods of HF contest refereeing have been discussed widely during the last few years. Discussions are waged both by contest committees and contestants in various contest reflectors and web-forums.

Well, CQ WPX CW 2009 has just ended and propogation was perfect for the contest.

Its allways interesting to study how contesters is running the pileup Here you can listen for 4O3A audio file of his operation in CQ WW SSB 2007

CQ WW 160m CW was a very promising event this year as we stuck an the bottom of the solar cycle so the low bands were good and the DX-activity in the contest was very high.

In May, 2009, George, VP2VQ, will have some exciting news about future Contest-Pedition and DX-Pedition opportunities on Tortola

A full 48 hours all-band contest effort with no sleep was not appealing to me, so I chose a strategy to enter the 20 Meter Single Operator Single Band category.

What an incredible experience from one of the world’s premier stations and locations! Great contest with a roller-coaster ride of exhilarating moments and more than few “others” in the downside column.

This year of 2008 was very hard, I was very busy at my work. I failed to put into practice part of my plans of improving the station and installing new antennas. So there were no any serious projects for SSB contest. Entering SSB on LF bands from my QTH seems to be prospectless. I mostly wanted to work missing US states to complete 5BWAS.
