🇬🇧 CQ WPX CW 2022 -- lessons learned

<h1>🇬🇧 CQ WPX CW 2022 -- lessons learned</h1> On the last weekend of May I participated in the CQ WPX CW Contest, one of the biggest contests in the calendar. I had different plans for Saturday, but it turned out that I have a free weekend and can spend some time in the contest. I did not have any plan for this particular contest, it was my first WPX, but I made some observations to make my next attempt better. 🖼️ Map of my QSOs from http://tools.adventureradio.de/analyzer/. I think I made 10 new DXCCs! I started a bit late, about 9 LT, 7 hours after the contest started. I discovered that although I can hear some stations my SWR goes into infinity. Luckily, It was just a loose antenna connection, so tightening the SO-239 barrel solved the problem. After making some QSOs on 40 meters I switched to 20 meters and… my receiver was deaf and the waterfall showed only stripes. I don’t know what is causing these problems, sometimes they are there, sometimes not. Some time later they were gone and I could start making QSOs on 20 meters. 🖼️ Stripes on 20 meters. This blocks my reception on the 20 meters and they are sometimes in the late morning or early evening. It turned out that spending some money on a narrow CW filter for my FTDX3000 was a very good idea. I could definitely tell the difference between a 350 Hz filter (600 Hz crystal + DSP) and 300 Hz one. Narrowing bandwidth down to 50 Hz gives some ringing, but that’s another story. Some time ago I learned the trick from a fellow and very experienced ham. One part of that trick is to set AF gain high, like 70 percent or even higher, and adjusting volume with RF. Other part is described in the FTDX3000 manual on page 46, I believe you can also find it in manuals for other radios. It definitely helped when working weaker stations. I still can not work with AGC turned off as aforementioned ham suggested… And if your RS/SQL knob sets squelch on HF… you’re doing it wrong. Really wrong. 🖼️ Some boring stats. My real location is JO81OC (http://tools.adventureradio.de/analyzer/) I’m using a somewhat compromise antenna, G7FEK for 80, 40 and 30 meters. My ATU does a good job and I can tune it to every HF band except 160 meters. I am aware that I lose some power with that, but I am really proud I could work DX on 15 and 10 meters. Yes, the stations on the other side of the antenna were Big Guns, but that’s what Big Guns are for. 🖼️ Enough of radio. Sunday walk in a park. We’ve met Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck, I can’t remember the names of the other ducks. Was my start a success? Well, I spent as much time as I could, almost as much as I wanted, and I did my best. My claimed score is far from the top ten SP from last year. But, I made some new DXCCs, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Argentina and Kazakhstan. Western Coast US was a big surprise for me, too. I tried many times to work station from Pakistan, but no luck this time. I heard Nepal, and Chad, but they could not hear me. 🖼️ Countries worked in the contest (http://tools.adventureradio.de/analyzer/) Few advices for contesting greenhorns: 🖼️ Dokąd nocą tupta jeż? Możesz wiedzieć, jeśli chcesz! (Sorry, I’m not going to translate this nursery rhyme, you’ll have to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHa222Q0T2I) Plans for improvements? Well, I have to replace my power supply -- I am afraid to work with more than 50 Watts and I think it is the cause of specific noise I can hear both on speaker and phones. However, I can not hear it on the FTDX USB soundcard. It would be also nice to have a vertical antenna on the roof for higher bands. Receive only antenna, like Loop on Ground, could be useful too, but it’s forbidden in TB-WIRES overlay I chose. 🖼️ More boring stats (this time from N1MM) On Saturday I worked 80-something thousand points. Next day I made 100 thousand and went for a walk with my Daughter. Early evening I

🇵🇱 Co jest nie tak z polskimi zawodami?

<h1>🇵🇱 Co jest nie tak z polskimi zawodami?</h1> Nie jestem wytrawnym kontesterem. Uczestniczę w zawodach od czasu do czasu: albo z przypadku, albo gdy coś ujmie mnie w regulaminie, czy też idei przedstawionej w regulaminie zawodów. 🖼️ Globus w Parku im. Henryka Sienkiewicza we Włocławku Jak pisałem w poprzednim poście, niektórzy moi koledzy nie lubią polskich zawodów i nie biorą w nich udziału. Osobiście nie mam aż tak ostrej opinii o zawodach krajowych, ale z niektórymi uwagami muszę się zgodzić. Poniżej przedstawię co mi osobiście nie podoba się w polskich zawodach. Ten post nie posiada pełnej wersji telegraficznej. Przedstawienie mojej analizy w postaci CW mijałoby się chyba z celem.

🇬🇧 Long May Weekend 2022

This year's long May weekend we spent at my in-laws house. May in Poland starts with International Workers' Day, National Day, then we have Flags Day, which is a normal day, then we have the Constitution of 3 May National Holiday. It should not be a surprise that Poles take a day off on the second day of May for “long weekend”. This year me and my wife took a whole week to spend some time with her relatives. 🖼️ My May shack. Decided to take some dust off my M0NKA clone. Deploying an antenna from the room where I slept was easy -- last time I had an end-fed unun on a window frame and wire going out and attached to a fence. This time I wanted to do the same thing, but with EFHW for 40 meters and up and a dipole for 80 meters. 🖼️ Unun hung on a window frame. Works. The problem was I took too little wire to make anything usable with it, so I ended up soldering all the wires I had together to make an end-fed antenna for 80 meters. Another issue was that there was not enough space for such a long antenna, so I had to bend it. I did ir before, but with more obtuse angles, this time it was almost a straight angle. 🖼️ My end-fed, bent in the middle. Brownish thing is a cord attached to the fence. I did not have any plans for the long weekend, except two points: some sightseeing with my daughter and her two cousins and… Constitution of 3 May Contest. 🖼️ “Constitution of 3 May 1791”, oil painting on canvas by the Polish artist Jan Matejko (1891) About 30 minutes before the contest was about to start, the 80 meters band was totally silent. I heard absolutely nothing. I saw some spots from Europe on RBN, but heard nothing. I was really afraid that the contest was over for me before it started, but, no. In the first two minutes I worked SP3ZHP and then SP1AEN, and believe me, SP1AEN had plenty of callers. With my 10 Watts and antenna at the height of my nose I focused on searching and pouncing. There were just about 60 CW participants in the contest, so it was possible to work almost everyone. It is not a miracle, but I think I developed a strategy for small contests when using a low-power rig. First, work with everyone using RBN for help. After you worked everyone tune to the frequency occupied by any station a while ago, but now clear, and call CQ there. Make sure you have enough “space” between adjacent stations. Pay attention to the band map and if there is a new station quit CQ and pounce it. I worked about 10 stations as a runner out of 47 total contacts. 🖼️ PA got warm, the whole case was warm… I have to find some kind of heat sink! Some of my friends do not like Polish contests and its rules, and Constitution Day Contest is a great example why. There were two categories for stations from Warsaw, but there is no category for single-op CW only. And, there is no category for QRP stations. The other reason is that Polish hams tend to work QRO in small, national, contests. 🖼️ Categories in the aforementioned contest. Will I win? No… But I have strong belief that I worked with almost every CW participant and gained almost all points. Wednesday was my CWT day. I skipped 1300 UTC, and at 1900 UTC made 39 contacts. This time I worked QRP 5W and in search and pounce mode almost exclusively. This was possible only thanks to the Reverse Beacon Network. I also started on Thursday morning with 21 contacts in the log. I could not “clear out the bandmap” and decided to call CQ a few times in both sessions. Yes, I caught some fish on my 5W hook! 🖼️ Bonus: I managed to connect my M0NKA clone to N1MM -- this is how.
