ARRL CW 2013 dual CQ

2 Replies

Dueling CQ or Alternating CQ is a great technique to squeeze some extra QSO’s out of slow bands, or general slow rate contesting often experienced from Norway. Below is a audio file and log excerpt from a dual CQ I did  in the ARRL DX CW 2013. I actually did a lot of dueling CQ, but this excerpt looked alternating enough for an example. Working on 20M(left ear) and 15M(right ear)

Remember this is done from Norway and we don’t generate the biggest pileups :-)

LN8W Dual CQ ARRL CW 2013 20/15 meters

It’s 20 minutes long. You listen to as long as you like of course. 46 QSOs made. 33 on 20M and 13 on 15M. Beats being on only one band doesn’t it. Doing this in serial number contest is much more difficult though. Continue reading →

Bjorn, LB1GB will again pilot LN8W in CQ WW CW. Same class as last year – SOAB HP UNASSISTED

Live score at http://cqcontest.ru and maybe live streaming on http://www.justin.tv/thewhiskyteam (can also be viewed via cqcontest.ru) if our internet connection stays up and is stable. There will be no time for troubleshooting during the contest if this fails.

See you in the contest!

LN8W is a part of Cereal Killers Team Contesting

LB1GB in EUHFC 2012

Leave a reply

I was LB1GB in EUHFC CW only. Used the contest to prepare Writelog and MK2R+ for this years SO2R season. We have dropped Win-Test as it doesn’t fully support all our activities. Better to use one software for all activities. Less hassle!

Had great fun during the contest. Hope to see you all next year.

Congratz to LY1BX for giving me year 38!!! Continue reading →
