WAEDC-RTTY contest 2018 #1 in Hessen …

Nice certificate just before end of the year. It was the 2nd time that I did submit a log to the WAEDC-contest team. After some successful trials, it was fun to hand out QTC during the WAEDC-RTTY contest. Activation time was limited and bands used 40m and 20m only. Yes! #1 in district Hessen 😎

DP6T/p winning the 2018 IARU1 CW fieldday (fixed class)

Unfortunately we couldn´t do the real fieldday-style setup for this contest. So I decided to go as single OP for the FIXED class in the CW leg of this contest. With the call DP6T/p I managed to win this class from our contest QTH in Wittgenborn. Thanks for all the QSOs.

WHSC65 Jubilee Award High Speed Club CW

The Radio Telegraphy High Speed Club HSC is celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2016. During the month of March they were issueing a special award WHSC65 for working members of the HSC and special commemorative event stations DP65HSC, PA65HSC, PB65HSC, LZ65HSC and SQ65HSC. It was a nice evening chase, mainly on 40m CW, to collect all the required points for the award.

Tromelin Island QRV - Incredible Pile-up for FT4TA

The last hamradio activation from Tromelin island was in 2000- more than 14 years ago. Many DXers, almost everyone of the younger generation, are looking for one QSO with this absolutely rare DX entity. In November 2014 a team of french operators is QRV for 10 days, bringing this DX country on the air as FT4TA. Right from the beginning of their operation, the pile-up of calling people for FT4TA was incredible. I have never heard a simliar pile-up in the last years. The split range for QSX was more than 25kHz up of their CQ frequency. Incredible.... Thousands of callers where looking for at least one QSO.

I am one of those lucky guys: QSO on 12m SSB and 10m CW - already confirmed at Logbook-of-the-world ! Thank you guys! What a DX ... and an All-Time-New-One for me!
