Zone 33 not signing his call for 5 minutes – CQ WW CW 2011

LB1GB — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 19:02:19 +0000

I listened to this guy in zone 33 on my second radio during CQ WW CW 2011. He never signed his call while I was listening. After 5 minutes I gave up.

“dit dit” is just not good enough – LID!

1 boy, 2 radios, 6 antennas

Yes! Sunspot minimum is back 
After almost a year with sunspots 10 meter is finally back to 
normal again....

Joke aside, I had a great time once again in the RDXC 
Last effort was in 2009 and I was aiming for the Norwegian record
but it was impossible because of the active geomagnetic field
combined with the low solar flux.

Hope to be back next year!

LB1GB working T32C on 80M CW

LB1GB — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:33:26 +0000

On the last day of T32C operations it was time to try for an 80M contact. It’s a very marginal QSO but we pulled it off. No Beverages at the time so I was lucky!
