Comments:
After our last year single band - 2 m only entry which after the dust settled made it to 3.place total in MO cat. and our goal to "beat" F6IFR on 2m only was achieved. We decided to give 6m a try. We do have a hefty TV there a lot of radiated MW about 80 km from us on a direct visibility -i.e. every 15.6 kHz JAM 59+20 dB so I made an antenna 12.5m long boom with 35 dB F/B. We believed into our "tiny" 2m antenna farm so we thought that last year result should be easily duplicated and hoped for some 300 QSOs on 6m. Well 2m did as expected, there was a bit better activity this year in Eu - we made 526 QSOs and 87 LOC. Still very far from what is being our standard in Eu REG1 contests but getting better, not yet close. We have not observed ANY Es and ANY Aurora - nothing - only normal propagation. On 6m there was also very bad propagation. We observed only about 4
very short Es - always only few minutes with the exception of opening to Southern EA/CT - Only 2 stations were there active. It was frustrating to hear
EH7RM 59+40 for about an hour working G,PA etc and we heard just NOTHING. High point was when F6IFR - with nice 57 signal (it is 845km-530miles) - called us in Sunday afternoon and we found we have 140QSOs more on 2m and twice as much on 6m - even if it was only lousy 60QSOs - so we tried to schedule on 6m and made it. It gave us an idea to try to make some more schedules from 2m to 6m and it worked in 3-4 more cases. We tried also the opposite but no QSO was achieved this way. Again OK activity contest gave us around 40% QSOs similar as G-QRP did the same for F6IFR (guessed only from what we heard on the band). We have not worked a single G again - only G "big guns" are workable (in normal conditions) for us and non of them went on the air - maybe next year. The acknowledgment of CQ VHF was this year better than previous year since already a couple of people said: "Ah you are in that American contest..." Last year 99% were surprised there is some contest.
