Comments from Marco, HB9CAT:
based on last year's experience we knew RX had to be improved, we did 2 things:
- extend NW and NE beverages to 400m and 300m respectively
- RX on the K3's in diversity mode, Beverage + HiZ 8 square
No changes on the TX side, the 22m Momobeam vertical is still doing great with 80 radials.
After a relatively slow start we realized that we were doing better than many equivalent EU stations and started ramping up the online ranking. Highlight was the
2nd night with 150 NA QSOs, which pushed us up to an unexpected 3rd place (online).
Target fully achieved, special thanks to the other OPs HB9BGV HB9BUN HB9DDO !
