Hello everyone.
I just became a new member and thanks Gilles for all your help.

This is the first time I seriously participated in a contest.
My principal goal was to add to my DXCC but it turned out to be great fun.
I am glad I installed the roofing filter mods on my radio.
Now I plan to make more improvements to the equipment for the next contest.
First time also using N1MM logger.

I also had problems with SWR on 40m because of the wet snow.
I noticed this after the tuning settings did not match the values I had in my chart.
I had to constantly readjust the matchbox and liner controls.
15m was incredible but 10m was disappointing after showing signs of life lately.

Re:CQWW SSB 2010 - 2010/11/01 19:02 Hello,
Thank you for the welcome!
I have to thank Gilles VE2TZT for introducing me to this website.
I was licensed in 2008 and I am new to operating but not new to Ham Radio or RF & electronics.
It seems that you guys have a very nice and interesting website here.

I am seriously planning to learn CW this coming year since I found that it is so much better for HF DX than SSB.
I do work some digital, PSK31 and RTTY, but I prefer speaking into the mic (and hopefully using the key) than to type on a keyboard since I am on the computer most of the day.

Question: How can I post some photos of my station and antennas on this site?

Re:CQWW SSB 2010 - 2010/11/01 20:02 I am very glad to see you George comming in this group.

George is indeed learning ham radio very fast, he has already organised the 2010 Field day of his Club (WIARC) and for the second year managed to make FM and SSB satellite contacts during the Fieldday with his own station.

Now he is comming to DX and logically to contest

Welcome George in this group.

Re:CQWW SSB 2010 - 2010/11/01 21:05 I did manage to pass by the station and found a microphone. I am glad I did for many reasons. I finally found a bunch of stations that are far more deaf than mine ha ha! The guys are coming in 20-25 dbs and they can't hear squat and I mean ZIP, NADA, NIET, RIEN PANTOUTE! Makes me feel better. Sure ssb takes up a lot of room on the band. Like I was saying it was a good experience even if only a couple of hours of operation but I did listen in for a bit more time. Boy some guys sure talk fast in there, if I tryied anything like it I'd need the services of my osteopath the following day.

Warm welcome to George!! Great to have you!!

J'ai entendu Alexey 2 ou 3 fois mais personne d'autre du groupe, faut dire je n'étais que sur 40M et pas longtemps alors. J'aurais aimé essayer le K3 mais j'ai pris la station du 756 pro2 car je n'ai pas de mike pour l'Elecraft, dommage.
Bravo pour les bons scores!!

Now it's time to shrink the filters here and get the station ready for the master of masters in 12 days ha ha!!

Question: comment était 80M vendredi soir? J'ai écouté un peu et la bande semblait être particulièrement brouillante.

Re:CQWW SSB 2010 - 2010/11/01 21:29 I really am jealous of you guys on CW!
I promised to myself that I WILL learn the code!

After 19 hours of listening to noise my ears needed 24 hours rest!
Also I agree that many operators speak much too fast.
The problem is that many operators use WAV recordings for their announcements and they just do not adjust and properly check the audio quality from the computer going into the radio and also they don't realize how fast they are calling especially if they have a foreign accent.
Many times I could not make out the call-sign so I just answered the CQ. Once the operator got on with his own voice I asked for his call after giving my report.
I prefer to use my own voice since I adjust the modulation properly before going on the air.

Does anyone have Victor's e-mail address?

Re:CQWW SSB 2010 - 2010/11/01 21:40 Bonjour à tous
Je n'ai décidé qu'à 00:00utc vendredi de débuter le concours car j'étais en manque de sommeil à cause du travail. Donc je n'ai opéré 1 heure sur 80-160m et évidemment je n'avais pas suivi WX samedi avec bruine et neige donc trop de static pour le dx en soirée.
Parfait pour évaluer le récepteur du Ftdx5000d sur 20-40m et copie ssb parfaite avec 1.5khz BW sur roofing 3 khz. Capacité de copie 1 qso à chaque 1khz avec IPO activé. Sur 10-15m en mode preamp 2 aucun son de fond sans signal. Donc même avec +/-1.5kw en tx le rx est supérieur au tx. Le gain audio du dvk du radio est parfaitement ajusté et sauve la voix.
Intéressant de copier station de la Mongolie sur 40m et d'entendre un pile-up provenant de l'Europe à 7 degrés nord. Pas essayé par contre meilleur catch-up Quatar sur 40m, zone 01 et 40 sur 15 m vu l'immense congestion. Pas le courage de me lever tôt samedi pour ouverture sur 40m avec océanie et asie.

Opération totale a été de 23:01 surtout dimanche.

Re:CQWW SSB 2010 - 2010/11/01 22:00 Très bon Réjean, un plaisir de voir quelqu'un qui sait se servir de son equipement à sa juste valeur ha ha!!

Ok I thought this might be a good time to give you an update on the NOEL POULIN AWARD. Still lots of contests to come and many things can happen.
Bonne chance et laissez-moi savoir si j'oublie de quoi.

Total Time On 03:55 (235 mins)

Petite participation à ce concours mais meilleur rate à vie et ce sur 80m (134 QSO en 60 minutes et 210 en 10 minutes: j'étais en feu hihi), les conditions étaient idéales avec la côté est. Bien entendu, j'ai pas fait beaucoup de zones mais je me suis pratiqué à runner rapidement samedi soir sur 80m car la bande est moins encombrée que sur 40m, facile de trouver un trou et d'être remarqué, j'ai été spotté 3 fois en 1 heure. Le 40m était passablement bruyant et encombré vendredi soir et je n'ai pas essayé longtemps. De plus, mon run sur 80 a été fait à 1000W tout le long et pour la 1ere fois.

Thanks for QSO with Alexey on 80m with an always excellent signal and audio.
