CQ160 2016
----
Ervaring in de CQWW160
Ik kon me niet herinneren in deze grote contest zo weinig W/VE en andere dx gehoord te hebben
slechts 7 M1 multi W/VE
hier top loaded verticaal 25m verticaal deel niet erg veel radials
Beverage pal-oost en pal west 350m lang
voor JA werkte de Oost. B. niet JH4UYB was op de tx ant beter
JH4UYB staat wel in het log maar er werd zoveel doorheen geroepen dat het niet 100% cfmd was
alleen gehoord 1e nacht C6AGU N0TT met werkbare signalen maar geen rx antenne voor EU?
heel kort PJ2T
snachts ben ik gestopt er kwam niets meer retour 160 leek wel dicht
terwijl je het toch juist van de nacht moet hebben
Omdat de B. niet voldeed de 350 m dubbel genomen 175m en noordelijker O-N-O gehangen lijkt beter gisteravond als enig EU 2 decodes VK2XN op 80m is geen slecht resultaat maar kan ook een uitzondering zijn.
Na een vraag aan Remco PA3FYM over zijn ervaring in de CQ160
bleek het verschil enorm
Bij hem veel W's Caribbean SA meerdere JA's
De ontvangst zou hier beter moeten kunnen.
Maar ik had ook de 1e nacht 0! RBN rapport uit USA dat was me nog niet eerder gebeurd.
Het was niet alleen aan de RX kant slecht.
De remote antenne schakeling aangepast zelfs nog iets eenvoudiger
beide Beverages ook massa nu gescheiden geschakeld.
wspr zal uit kunnen wijzen of dit een positief effect geeft
Mogelijk zal in de aarding nog winst te halen zijn.
------
first time with almost zero DX that I can remember
changed today Beverage East in hope to catch JA
Beverage is okay but can't make something out of nothing
only JH4UYB was yesterday good copy none else JA
again today wspr.net.org is unreachable most of time
Now we have a competition, the WSPR chalence list by PE1ITR and PA3FYM

again today wspr.net.org is unreachable most of time
Now we have a competition, the WSPR chalence list by PE1ITR and PA3FYM
2 lists per band:
1 Rated by the number of unique decodes shows how many wspr users are active / band
2 Rated by the sum of distances of the unique decodes
nice that at least something useful is done with all the WSPR data
like here
http://wspr.pe1itr.com/score.php?band=3&peildatum=2016-01-29
I like the idea of competition.
For me WSPR always was a competition to see how I was doing against other hams in the same propagation area
I learned about propagation I have a good location I should not complain
Easy to see how much difference in propagation is within the EU.
f.i. 28MHz VK seems never to be closed in JO50 .. DL6NL with 500mW is decoded in VK
while others like here have zero propagation !
It is a receiving challenge that makes this special. Only the received dx counts
SWL's do count for 100% in this competition.
Someone has to Tx of course but you will only help the other competitors with your TX...
I have some worries that the WSPR community can slide down
toward the excesses found with the "regular" real DX-ers and DX-peditions
abusing the bands with illegal power and behavior.
WSPR still is heaven for DX.
One of the last resources where HAMS have ham spirit and people are real interested in radio propagation.
Even if P5/xxx would be on in WSPR there would be no chaos
I hope this will not change bij this challenge list...
I did set up 2 Beverages for 160/80 but my best rating has been the 60m challenge
With the ZS decodes I end up in the top of the list regularly not expected.
We can not reach VK or USA since we have no permission to TX in the WSPR window like the
UK stations can. Why do UK hams have that much more privileges ?
Great Britain still rules the waves.
VK2KRR FY5KE did not count in my challenge score for unknown reason
1 Rated by the number of unique decodes shows how many wspr users are active / band
2 Rated by the sum of distances of the unique decodes

My receiving is staying behind must be something wrong with Beverage
but weather is too nasty

every evening ZS is decoded ZS4AFV as best DX possible here
no permit to TX in the WSPR window so no VK W possible

CQ160 m contest vr 22:00 - zo 22:00 UTC (48 uur)
no surprises in DX very poor
started late already midnight
after first night:
just a few heard worked W VE VY1ZM not as strong as usual.
best heard N0TT MO ,good copy but not listening for EU
heard C6AGU
zone 18 best DX to east
after 2nd night
heard PJ2T
JH4UYB only Japan signal was good copied and in the log i hope. Many callers and QSB made it difficult.
The Beverage did not help for Japan it needs to be N-E more.
