Re:WAE CW 2008 - 2008/08/10 21:02Hi everyone...
Felicitation pour le courage et la determination ou la folie ! Les conditions terrible mais j'ai reussi DR1A 5xBand ! Ici tout les QSO sont S/P seulement... Found It was harder when underneath there was either ve2tzt or xaa calling ! Sorry but my back was not in shape after the week at work, to handle a 4hours of sitting ! With this type of condition...the repeat button was handy.
Welcome to the WAE Victor ... if you missed the CW ...SSB one is coming ! and the RTTY is even more fun you can also receive QTCs ...when the other party understand who is Receiving and who is Transmitting the QTC !!
Bon score Claude...surement pas beaucoup de visite ! Noel ... un EU est revenu avec FWW quand le l'ai appelé ! (Je me suis dit je doit avoir un bon signal... )mais c'est plutot que j'ai du me repeter ! Felicitation Gilles ...la partie semblais facile !

WAE DX Contest, CW
Call: VE2FU Operator(s): VE2FU Station: VE2FU
Class: Single Op HP QTH: QUEBEC Operating Time (hrs): 7H15
YES Conditions Terrible Had no good antennas for 40 and 80 Was lucky to solve 40M RF problem for 100W in the first hour of the contest. Had to use my limited 300W for 80M... Eventualy after few hours Low Power was much of a stuggle. So switch the TV back on for the olympic coverage !
Just happy was able to find DR1A on 40m before the end of contest for 5 band QSO. F5IN loudest signal on 28Mhz 599 plus missed another easy 5 band QSO.
RIG: FT-1000MP MKV FIELD, 300W(80m) Ant: A3S, G5RV 160-80-40 MicroKeyer II, and WIN-TEST V3.22 QSO all uploaded on EQSL.cc

Re:WAE CW 2008 - 2008/08/10 21:44Oui, un des meilleurs concours. J'ai déjà hâte à l'an prochain en pensant que la propagation sera encore meilleure et que je pourrai peut-être y mettre plus de temps. J'ai terminé tôt dimanche matin. Un peu de monitoring dimanche PM pour me faire comprendre que j'ai manqué le meilleur. Oui, j'y serai pour le WAE RTTY.
J'étais découragé de monitorer Noel sur 40m qui échangeait des QTC avec des gars que je copiais avec misère...

Very good training for ears and motivation. For 3 weeks, I am trying to fix a permanent 59+ all bands power line problem on an insulator 300 feet from the tower, of course, in the direction of Europe. Thursday a RFI guy of HydroQuebec came and made a fragile temporary fix, waiting the construction team. So, I thought I was lucky for this unexpected participation to the CW WAE this WE. Of course, Sunday night, the power line noise came back, stopping me for the night, until noon when it stopped. On Sunday afternoon, I had to nest the tower for half an hour because of lightning all around. During the 25 possible hours of participation, the high K index was competing against the storm crunches to know which one is the worst. So, thank you so much to all the European operators who had to repeat sometimes more than 10 times their callsign or NR to give their weak signal the luck to pass between two lightning crunches...And thank to some, like 9A/S53AU/P, to make the training more challenging with their sophisticated callsign... By the way, on 40m, I was never able to use the 2el beam for receiving. The 160m beverage was the only solution, and even on 20m, I sometimes had to listen on the beverage. Strangely, I have a pleasant recollection of this experience. Perhaps the fact that I had time to sleep and that I finish very well rested. The only fly in the ointment: I prefer never know my UBN for this contest...
Assez écoeurant d'entendre samedi soir VE3AT alligner les qso à 100/h sur 40m alors que j'entendais pas un de ses correspondants sur 10. Va falloir déménager au sud et monter une 3 el full size sur une tour de 120 pieds.
Merci à XAA,WDQ et FK pour les spots.
Désolé Phil pour le passage en force sur 80m, j`étais un peu énervé vu que je vennais de me faire passer 3 ou 4 fois, je me demandais si il y avait pas quelque chôse de croche avec l'antenne. d'ailleurs, j'ai toujours cette impression que sur 80m, ça marche moins bien que sur les autres bandes, y compris le 160, comme si les arbres faisaient de l'absorbtion sur cette bande.
73 à tous
Gilles

Re:WAE CW 2008 - 2008/08/11 08:03Alors le grand gagnant est... VE2TZT. Faut le faire, 25/H sur une chaisse avec une mauvaise propagation... Mais ce sera meilleur l'an prochain tandis que le 20 et 40m resteront encore pour un bout de temps les bandes favorables. J'ai monitoré VY2EJ et VY2MT c'est certain qu'un terrain en PEI est un atout important. Ils semblaient avoir une très bonne réception en 80 et 40m.
