DK7HASO QRP ALLIC-703, K3/10, 5 watt spiderbeam + 40m add-on, lambda/4 verticals for 40 m and 80 m Thanks the organizers for the contest and all who worked my qrp sigs. Finally, the condx really changed, the high bands got focus - in principle what we have hoped for since years. However, that needs as well another strategy for the contest. Here I am failed. The high bands were so more appealing that I neglected the low bands for the higher points. Therefore, pretty low score for the great conditions, anyway, enjoyed the endeavour
DK8ZZSO HP ALLWhat a great contest! Some improvements from last year: - PGXL amplifier moved to the next room. Fans in broadcast mode doesn't disturbing anymore :-) - intensive use of both slices on Flexradio using two keyboards - time management with breaks was way better than last year ...and sime mistakes: - missed JA opening on Saturday. Pokered with Sunday opening - failure. Missing too much multis from east/far east. - not satisfied with number of worked prefixes. WPX RTTY 2023 was great contest. Started as usual on 40m band RUN and went to the second break too late slept between 0900z and 1100z, missed JA/east/far east opening. USA was on Sunday much better with great run on 10 and 15m. 20m wasn't so good, despite loud signals from the west coast. South America was good on 15m during their sunrise (Sunday) WPX is a great place to work some interesting prefixes such as DL1640, SO25, KH7X/WZ7, DL50. 9N7AA was loud on 10m KL2R had blasting signal on 15m RTTY, as well as KH6ZM. VK4SN worked on 80m. Rig: Flexradio 6600, PGXL Amplifier, Antenna Genius 8x2 80m GP (UA2FZ MBV 17m high 160/80m GP) 40m home made GP (Spiderbeam pole) LZA 10-5 (10 el. 5 band beam, 2 el per band), 10m high At the bottom, +340 QSOs, -40 MTPLs, 15% score improvement, not far away from DL record (after UBN check score will be lower than DL4MCF record) 73, Zrinko(Zik) DK8ZZ

E70YSO LP 40MWhat can I say, my plan was to do QRP. But, bad propagation at the beginning with a high K index and minor problems with the settings forced me to change. At the beginning I used audio card from the RIG, but later added signal link to the setup and continued LP. Leater I have nice openings and I'm happy with the overall result. I regret a little for the first couple of hours, because in the end I would have a much better score, but what's there is :). Mostly work with 80W and delta loop. TU for all QSO's, especially for all spots. Se you, Marin E70Y
