2009 ARRL International DX Contest (Phone)
03/14/2009 |
GW7X
The planned single-band 40M operation here *almost* didn't happen!
Just hours before the start of the contest the PSU failed in the main station computer - fortunaetly this was around 14:00 (2pm local time) and I was able to get a repair, if it had been at 23:00 the outcome may have been a lot different!
All worked fine in the contest and I thank everyone for the contacts - all 1,662 of them, although there were a number of dupes and final total was 1,584. This, I believe, sets a new European record on contacts for 40 meters but is just short of beating the overall contest score.
