[Moon] VHF: ARRL EME Contest - 2nd Weekend Results

[Bob Kocisko]

Hello 2m EME Friends:

I was QRV on 2m CW, random, unassisted, for 4 hours on 24 Nov & worked only 4 stations with one being a dupe.  On 25 Nov, I was QRV for 3.5 hrs & worked 5 stations.  Had 7dB noise level > 50 ohm termination into preamp on 25 Nov due to warm, dry winds.  Didn't hear that many new stations this weekend compared with the 1st weekend of the contest.  Here's the stations worked this weekend:

24 Nov:  LZ2US (dupe), OK1KKD (#213), LA8YB (#214) & OZ1HNE.  Called K9DX & RW1AW with no answer.

25 Nov:  RU1AA, OK1VVP, RA6DA (#215), DK3T (#216) & W3SZ.  Called K9DX with no answer.

Great signals fm LZ2US, LA8YB, RU1AA & DK3T who was 20dB SNR on FFT DSP.

Also, great signals fm RN6BN & SV1BTR who I worked the 1st weekend.

Looks like 25 stations worked this contest in 16 hours. Sure isn't a high QSO rate per hour.   Not sure of multipliers yet.  Had a good time.  Just wish 2m CW EME would sound like it use to during this contest.  Guess many hv gone to digital almost exclusively.

73,
Bob, K6PF
