Re:Russian DX Contest 2011 - 2011/03/21 14:50
Bravo Alex and Victor
During this RuDX, I have just made a few qso's to take advantage of 15m North opening at sun set and get a few new ones DX , plus 30 mn of run on 160m just to test something.
I have remarqued in that short period of time that some operators who do not listen enough but are using the cluster spots are confusing beetween VA2WA and VA2EW callsigns. I expect that by the time, the community will learn to pay attention to those close spelling new ``comers`` callsigns.
By the way I received this WE the confirmation from ARRL that my 5 bands DXCC + 4 bands endorcements which makes the 9 bands DXCC have been validated.
I was believing that it is not a big deal untill I realised, looking at the ARRL standings, that it is the first 9 bands DXCC validated by ARRL in the Ham radio Québec history and it has been entirely done during the past 6 years which is the lowest and longuest sun minimum activity period of the ham radio history...
What can we think of those who are saying that solar minimum are bad for radio ???
At this date, there are only 3X160m DXCC achieved in Quebec :
VE2FYR, VA2WDQ and VE2TZT. I then guess that Victor will be soon the next one to achieve a 9 bands DXCC in Québec.
Do not miss that point, CQ magazine and ARRL awards are a form of competition the difference with contest, is that this competion is lasting 48 years instead of 48 hours...
