2010 ARRL International DX Contest (Phone)
thank you very much for all the QSOs with W and VE stations
during this ARRL international DX SSB contest 2010. I made
1307 QSOs include 2 loged dupes, 152 states/provinces and
a final score of 595080 points. A summary overview please
find attached as jpg picture as well.
It was a pleasure to work a lot of you on 1, 2, 3 or 4 bands.
I was been QRV between 10m and 80m, but no chance to work
anybody on 10m. So my focus switched between 15m and 80m.
I had a lot of fun and a couple of good runs with up to
6 QSOs each minute in top speed. Thanks also for the good
work on your side, this makes it possible. Everything have
2 sides and in this case some stations needs bigger glases
in the future. They made some wrong DX Cluster spots for my
used frequency on 20m.
Sometimes they made spots for GJ1AA, sometimes for DJ5AA.
Believe me, all the spots were wrong and you worked my call DJ1AA.
I had so much QSO dupe requests and I have to tell everybody
that my call is DJ1AA, not GJ1 or DJ5.. and this is a DUPE.
Please do me and your correct log a favor and check it if
you have worked the wrong callsigns GJ1AA or DJ5AA in the
contest. If so, please send me an email to
[DJ1AA - at - darc.de]
with your QSO datas for that possible QSO(s).
I just want to confirm your info as soon as possible
by email. If you are in my log correct, so you can make
a correction to the call DJ1AA. In the future, I suggest
that you have to hear at first on frequency to the CQ contest
station and compare it before you log a call only by S&P
DXCluster assistence with double click, enter and QSO ready..
The risk to work a wrong station is very high.
