Re:CQWW SSB 2011 - 2011/10/30 21:24Hi guys, the contest is now over, fantastic conditions on 10 meters, almost the best I have seen in the last 20 years. Here is my score: 1 012 742 ( 1211 qso ) Hope to improve my score next year with a new tower and antennas. (only have a vertical and wire antennas at the moment hihi..) Glad to be a new member of CGP. 73 ! Sanjay VA2OP

Tout à mal débuté, le 20m a fermé assez rapidement et tout le monde s’est retrouvé sur 40m dans un bordel total. Pas facile à LP de se faire copier et oublier de RUN. J’ai parlé à Luc FXL sur 80m et il m’a semblé lui aussi déçu du zoo sur 40m.
Par contre samedi matin, le 10m était ouvert comme dans les bonnes années avec de l’activité de 28.300 à 29.000 tout le monde coude à coude. J’ai passé presque la journée entière sur 10m surtout en S&P. Ici, c’est « l’équipe B » qui s’est occupé des travaux extérieurs autour du QTH, propagation oblige…
Dimanche matin ce fut le tour du 15m. L’activité sur le 10m était semblable au samedi mais faut bien passé à autre chose. Pour clore la fin de semaine, des invités de derniers minutes pour souper. Le contest s’est donc terminé assez tôt pour moi si ce n’est que de la démo à mes invitées qui m’a permis de faire quelques multiplicateurs sur 10 et 15.
On essayera de faire mieux l’an prochain ...

A court de sommeil après ma semaine de travail, donc pas d'opération entre 23 hrs et 6 am avec des arrêts durant le concours. Bon test pour vérifier la nouvelle yagi et refait antenne sur 160 m. Vendredi soir conditions passables sur 80-160, bonne sur 40, samedi matin 6 am, très bon sur 40 avec l'Asie - pacifique, samedi soir 80m bon, 160 m ouvert mais presque pas de dx. samedi-dimanche 20-15-10 excellent les deux jours. Difficile de choisir entre 10 & 15 de jour. Surtout compétitionné contre les gros canons pour dx Asie, Afrique, Pacifique et jamais appelé plus 2-4 fois et surpris de passer avant les clubs USA surtout pour dx rares. Donc seul zone 26 est manquante. Très satisfait de la performance de la yagi, radio dsp rx audio à 1.5 khz et ajustement tx audio très important en ssb. 73, Réjean

Re:CQWW SSB 2011 - 2011/10/30 23:23Salut Réjean
Pas de chance pour la zone 26. J'ai fait E2E sur 20m en attendant ma visite pour souper. VE2NGH a attiré l'attention du côté des VE2 en passant avant moi et j'ai finalement passer par la peau des fesses durant une passe de QSB. De mon côté, il me manque la zone 22 (pourtant j'ai copié des VU2 mais j'ai laissé passer croyant en refaire plus tard) ainsi que la zone 37 ( j'ai entendu 5H3EE mais le plie-up était trop gros en LP) et 39 (rien entendu de ce côté). Je crois que j'ai eu la même chance avec toi pour un ou deux autres QSOs. En LP, faut de jouer de chance à l'occasion.
Effectivement, ça prenait de bons filtres dans les radios. Il y a longtemps que je m'avait "gouté" à un tel QRM. Chose à remarquer, les petites stations que l'on retrouvent coincer entre 2 gros signal te font rarement répéter 2 fois. J'imagine que de leur côté, la fréquence est vivable.

Re:CQWW SSB 2011 - 2011/10/30 23:44Bonsoir / Hi,
Wow! What's a fantastic conditions! I forgot about run and just did S&P more then 90% of the time enjoying chasing DX on different bands! Since I was not using cluster that was nice to work some DX before pileup after a first DX cluster spot. Unfortunately I couldn't be all the time in the air. Missed few good hours because some family obligations.
That was the first time I decided to go with LP (100 watts from my TS-590S) to a SSB test. Since I still use my modest small backyard antenna "farm" sometimes that was very tough. I missed plenty of calls and mults I couldn't get through pileup.
That was nice to hear you guys. My congratulations! Your results are just great! Rejean, we will definitely need you in the CGQ team for the next CQ WW )))

Re:CQWW SSB 2011 - 2011/10/31 10:17Wow guys, very nice scores! I went to the station friday night to hear the action and it was a solid mess across the band. Actually made a few Qs on 40M S&P but not really comfortable with the microphone anymore and felt like going to a big party where you don't know anybody. So great for all of you who had fun and contributed to very nice CGQ presence!

What a nice contest and great propagation. I operated S&P unassisted with non directional wire antennas and I had plenty of stations to work. At times, making QSOs was like shooting ducks.
Phone contests are much different that their CW counterparts. One station had my suffix correct but asked for my prefix. When I repeated enough so that he got the prefix straight he then told my call with a mistake in the suffix.
I realized how people are using a big part of the 10m band. I started sweeping the band from the bottom to the top. As I made my way upward the band it seemed that there were no end to it. There was always a station calling upper in frequency. At one moment I thought that I could progress this way up to the 6m band.
This contest was a great occasion to fill some spots in my DXCC and WAS accounts.
It's great to see such big scores published by our members. Congratulation to all.
Thanks Victor to manage the team organization to optimize it's performance.
I'm now preparing for the two SS and the CW version of this contest.
73 de Louis, VE2EZD

Re:CQWW SSB 2011 - 2011/10/31 16:46Bravo les gars, du bon travail. CGQ fera surement sa marque dans les résultats. J'ai entendu VA2OP sur 80m, bon signal et belle modulation. J'ai monitoré yuri sur 10 et 20m et j'ai jamais entendu un temps mort, des appels sans fin.

Well here is our score. I am very pleased since this is the first time I made a serious contesting effort. We started only on Saturday morning.
10m and 15m were fantastic. We operated 10 & 15 all morning both days. 20m was disappointing since it closed quite early and 40m was just a zoo. I am glad we have phone privileges below 7.125! I was a bit disappointed in the lack of activity on 80m Saturday after 4AM, but we took advantage and got some sleep. But also my 80m sloper is not so good in receiving. I plan to improve this next year.
We planned to operate more than we did but we had to shut down the station for a few hours Saturday due to complaints of severe telephone interference from just ONE neigbour. We tried to explain that my cable TV and telephone system as well as those of my two tenant's upstairs were OK. The owner did not believe me so I had the Bell Canada technician come on Saturday and he found a MESS of old telephone wiring installed by the homeowner as well as corroded connection blocks and missing ground connections. There were jacks everywhere! The telephone drop line and box were all updated and most of the owner-installed rat's nest of wiring was removed. No more interference! Conclusion: NEVER admit that the problem is your fault and ALWAYS hold your ground! Why can't people just buy a good cordless phone?!
Congratulations to the rest of the team especially Yuri with his fantastic score! I was happy to contribute to the CGQ team! Thanks Victor for your effort in organizing this and a big thanks to VA2UTC, and VE2OFH!
73, George

Re:CQWW SSB 2011 - 2011/10/31 21:20I have to get back in here after seen the lastest posts. Really impressed by all of you with such fantastic effort. Yuri deserves a special mention for out-of-this-world score! but all have to be congratulated! Bravo
I cannot hold back here and allow me a little comment: I was reading on 3830 some of the comments of the folks. Between the lines you sense in some of the comments a little 'put down' kind of attitude as though this was just an ssb contest and that their favorite one will be coming in november...That's fine, so you prefer some mode instead of others but just because you couldn't come out on top of the list... come on! This is radio contesting guys, all modes are fun and full of challange. If you don't like it, well don't do it! It's not a secret my mode of preference is rtty ok but I respect and admire just as much all particpants in all modes. Long live radio sport and if you're to criticize well ... get out of the way!
Way to go you ssb OMs!
