ARI International DX contest - May 1-2

 __________________________________________________________________________________________

The first full weekend in February is always a contest weekend at our contest associations: time for the ARI International DX Contest.
For us at IO3T it is more than only contesting. We want to have some fun as well. And most important on the contest weekend is the Gourmet-dinner at Saturday evening and sunday morning....We don't have a large contest crew but we try to keep three shacks running at the same time for the full 24 hours. We worked both in CW and Phone on most of the bands.
Within a day after the contest we already have new ideas and plans for next ones, so we have some work to do the upcoming weeks.

ARRL CW Contest - Febbruary 20-21

 ______________________________________________________________________

Last Saturday and Sunday it was time again to do a little contesting. Unfortunately I didn't had the time to make it a full-time contest weekend. I worked a few hours behind the rig on Saturday evening and on Sunday.The ARRL CW Contest is a very nice contest but it's always hard to get through the pile-ups with 300 watts. Sometimes it was a one-call QSO but some others took much more time.Sunday morning there suddenly was an opening towards on 40 meters. I was very glad that I could work the bigs on that band!I have made 176 QSO's with 44 states on 15, 20 and 40 meter.
