Straight Key Sprint Europe Results

Results for SKSE: 06-Feb-2025

After the busy K3Y january activities, yesterday night the bands seemed to be very quiet ! However I was glad to do 14 contacts with usual friends, one new number contact with EI2IAB, thanks operator Marty. After one hour and a half, nobody called me, suddenly a little signal was heard, Jeff K4TNE was calling me on 20 m band, we did the contact, then Jeff told me he was using a 5 Watts QRP rig into an End Feed antenna ! On my side I used 80 Watts into my good old DX-88 multiband Hy-Gain Ground Plane Antenna. So, always nice to have a participation in these SKCC events ! 73 everybody and see you all soon !

A fun two contacts. I didnt get much time on the radio. first on 20m was NJ8L Vern, and later, also on 20m was YU7AE Kare. Rig a TS-440s, 100w to a Vertical, key was a Big Marconi Air Ministry Spark key. 73

Thanks for the QSOs. I was only QRV on 40m and condx not so good. I had RBN spots in W1,W3 and VE3 but no QSOs. 73 Paul

nice conditions on 15 M band, I have done all QSOs there. During SKSE I have reached score for PFX X10 ! Thanks to SKCC for having fun.

KS1KCC Operated remotely from the K8AQM shack to the N8CC antenna farm and shack by Stan AC8W. A great time and a seamless operation. Thanks to all who worked us. 73, Stan AC8W and Jeff N8CC

Thanks for staying up late EU friends! 73

Had fun. Wish there was a better 15M path to EU.

MUF for distances within Europe dropped below 6 MHz, so very weak signals on 40 meters. Gave up after 30 minutes.

Thanks for the Q's! 73's!
