In the past I haven’t paid this contest a great lot of attention, though a new light was cast when I was lucky enough to operate from GR2HQ in 2011. This was very much a small part time effort resulting in only 60 QSOs, all CW in under 2 hours of operating time. Better a […]
80M CC SSB April 2012 – M0PCB
Not on top form for this contest so wasn’t a real effort, but another few points to go towards the CARA club score. Only 25 QSOs in all in a very crowded band.
144MHz UKAC April 2012 – M0PCB
Well, another successful UKAC contest on 2m from IO81UT. 22 QSOs, with my best DX being G4FZN/P in IO94 and GD8EXI in IO74. View Larger Map
80m CC CW March 2012 – M0PCB
In January 2012 I hadn’t an antenna for 80m, but as I’ve now got a trap dipole for 80/40m I am able to enter these events. This time I managed 86 QSOs, of which 85 are valid. There was a slight problem with the serial number for one QSO. This was great fun for an […]
Commonwealth Contest 2012 – M0PCB
BERU is a special contest for many, and 2012 saw the 75th anniversary of this, the longest running HF contest in amateur radio. For the past couple of years I have not been able to make an entry for various reasons but this time I had the new antennas up at QTH M0PCB and nothing […]
144MHz UKAC March 2012 – M0PCB
This is the 3rd UKAC event I have entered on 144MHz in 2012, I am ignoring the fact I managed to submit the February log after the deadline. Not a bad spread of QSOs and a new DXCC on 2m to boot! View Larger Map
144MHz UKAC February 2012 – M0PCB
Sadly I didn’t get my log in to the system before the deadline for this contest, but the RSGB Log Robot was kind enough to generate the Google Map for me. Having finally got the 144MHz station up and running from the new QTH it was nice to see that it works. View Larger Map
144MHz UKAC May 2011 – M0PCB
This was the first of the UKAC events that I managed to enter. This entry was made with 50w to a Halo antenna at my previous QTH in IO81WV. I was very pleased with the result, especially given I wasn’t directional. View Larger Map
80m CC CW February 2011 – M0PCB
Having got an 80m antenna set up for the 80m AFS contests I managed to have a go at a club championship event on behalf of The Cheltenham Amateur Radio Association and made 58 QSOS into 4 countries in the hour and a half. Equipment was an Elecraft K3, 100w into a 100′ doublet antenna. […]
80m AFS CW 2011 – M0PCB
Usually I enter this contest using a club call sign but in 2011 I supported The Cheltenham ARA as M0PCB. Managed 196 QSOs in 7 countries during the 4 hours using 100w from an Elecraft K3 and a 100 foot doublet antenna.
