HA2MN's pages - Contesting

Why should I?
I should not! As to me concerned I just love contesting. It is a good occasion to meet a great number of stations from great number of DXCC entites or new-to-log, new-to-band call signs. Especially with the small pistol station that I have ever had.

Remarks

I have never had any linear amplifier so the early years HP (high power) category in the official list may come from lack of true data in the archive. Though, I can imagine other reasons as to the old fashion, centralized posting system of the contest logs concerned at that time... I ran a homebrew trx only for 20 m (single band) with 2xPL504 tubes in the PA. The input was 100W and the antenna was a folded dipole made of TV (twin) cable, situated about 1 m high above flat roof in the '80s. The QTH was surrounded by hills and mountains of Dorog Basin. Thanks to Randy, K5ZD for collecting data and publishing the history of this highly esteemed contests. You can check your history here.

By the way, I had to mail the logs to the "local center" (not to the organizer directly) in the early '80s and never heard about results until Randy published it recently. It is really great to read them after decades.
