European DX-Contest CW 2001

Contest Echo

erstellt von Ben, DL6RAI

9A7P: TU for excellent contest as always. CU next year and I hope with serious effort.

9M2JI: Many stations asked me to QSY.... I confused and break 10 min rule. But happy to work many stations on 40m!

C4A: Poor condx last two hours prevented me in breaking JY8WA record, but I'll keep trying. Jumping from band to band with SO2R much easier.

CX9AU: On 80 listened around 20 EU stations,but not lisent me execept DL3TD and RU1A, this one the bigest signal.

DF0DC: Warum das Programm die ersten 10 QTC nicht bearbeitet, weiss ich nicht. Da ich im Terminstress bin, verzichte ich auch ohne murren auf die fehlenden Punkte.

DF0SX: Super contest as usual; Power increase from 100W to 400W doubles number of QSOs and QTCs comparing with 1999.

DF2IY: Thanks to everybody for copying my, as I was operating with 10 W output and on an indoor dipole.

DH2URF: Leider nur sehr einfacher RX. Sehr guter Contest fuer CW Arbeit.

DJ5BV: Leider sind durch ein defektes Tonbandgeraet (Aussetzfehler) 180 qtcs auf der Strecke geblieben.

DJ7ST: My first home-call entry after many OH0-holiday participations. Nevertheless: familiar feelings!

DK0MV: Erste WAE Teilnahme.

DK3BN: Hatte leider wenig Zeit bei meiner 31. Teilnahme am WAEDC, dem schoensten Contest ueberhaupt in CW.

DK3GI: I apologize for making some DX-Stations violate the rules and give me a multiplier within their 10 Min window.

DK4CU: 3 W out, GP + Delta Loop.

DL0XM: Fielddaystyle WAE, 24h Aufbau, 48h Funken, 24h Abbau gibts dafuer eine eigene Kategorie?

DL1BUG: Good condx, good activity - first time more than 100,000 points.

DL1EV: Mir fiel mein SWL-Log vom DJDC 1936, dem Vorlaeufer des WAEDC, in die Haende. Zu jener Zeit hatte man noch keine Blutdruck-Probleme beim Aufnehmen von QTCs. uebrigens meldeten damals die nichtdeutschen Europaeer ihre DX-Verbindungen auch als QTC nach Deutschland.

DL1FAA: QW4 wertet DS (Korea) als DL (Deutschland) Multi aendert das aber nicht.

DL2RL: Es ist immer wieder eine Herausforderung mit den QTCs und dem Computer.

DL3DTH: Good condx, only 10m was difficult with 100W and vertical. This condx were probably the compensation for the last year ;-)

DL4HG: Leider war 10m wieder sehr ruhig.

DL4JU: My first WAE Contest! Thanks for enjoy - it was wonderful. See you in next year.

DL5AKF: ca. 1,3 m GP am Balkon, hi!

DL5KUD: Meine erste Teilnahme an diesem interessanten Contest. Bis auf das QRN auf 80 m hat es richtig Spass gemacht. QTCs sammeln (ohne Richtantennen) ist doch schon eher eine Herausforderung als ENNA4.

DL6MHW: Some problems with wet koax and moving SWR made the decision to renew every koax part of the quad antenna. The goal of 100K points was rechable beside some other weekend activies.

DL7VZF: Das QW wollte KL9 nicht als Alaska akzeptieren - musste etwas tricksen -hi.

DL7YS: QTCs mit QW,m it is fun.

DL8FP: Condx vy good on all bands!

DL8WX: Interesting openings on 10, extremely loud signals on 40, one of the best contest condx since three decades. Interesting to hear one RT9 station is in Europe, another RT9 is in Asia....

DL9AWI: Bei N2NC sind mir leider 4 qtc verloren gegangen.Habe mir schon 12 QTCïs abgezogen.

EA2CR: 50 years in ARS licencia 1950 contiuous. FB european contest.

EA5FID: See you next year.

EM3J: Nice contest! See you again! 73!

ES4MM: TNX for nice Contest! 73 to all friends! Hpe cuagn in next WAEDX contest.

G0WHO: Great fun, but the QTC exchange demands concentration.

G3RSD: Propagation better this year, most enjoyable

G3TXF: Long live QTCs. They really are fun!

G3UFY: My logging program crashed and I lost all my QTC data. Please treat this as a checklog. Vy 73 until next year.

G3ZRJ: VR2 and NH2 were unexpected bonusses in less than great conditions. Generally high standard of operating this year, very few rough signals. Thank you to all who organised another great WAE, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

G4OGB: QTC's - had trouble with recorder system. Don't blame the senders!

GW7X: Where can I learn to type!

H2G: Bad cndx on LF this year QRN on 80m very bad here.

HA1AG: I lost the first 7 hours due to blackout caused by a direct lightning hit on the transformer station. It took lots of mental energy to start the contest at 0648 at all. For me the WAE CW is THE CONTEST... Managed to get 5-band QSO with CO8ZZ, EX8W, H2G, HS0AC, J38PA, JE4VVM, JY8TE, K2NG, K5KG, KC1XX, XL3UZ, ZC4DW, ZW5B. BIG thanks! I could not get the number of ZL6QH on 80, who called me but I had no chance due to jamming. CX9AU was OK on 80 but could not hear me.

HB9AYZ: Schoen, dass es auch mit QRP klappt!

I1QGZ: My contest is little: I am 79 years old, hi!

I3FDZ: Les than 24 hours of operations this year, not enought to reach the top ten HI!

IR2V: Not a serious effort, but wanted to be there.

IS0IGV: Very good contest. Propagations negative on 10 mtr bands. At nex time!

J38PA: We enjoyed this contest very much. A pitty that we had for a very long time a lot of local QRM (S9+) on all bands. Otherwise we could make a few hunderds of QSO's more.

J41YM: I had to fight with EU stations which thougt that I am JA or some rare DX.

JA3YPL: I hope you tell me how many QTCs you need, when you ask me for QTCs. With my logging software, I cannot check in realtime how many QTCs are rest.

JA9CWJ: My favourite contest. I enjoyed it very much, but 28 MHz were poor condx.

JE3UHV: I have enjoyed the contest and I am stisfied with my score. I regret that I could not hear EU station on 3.5MHz and 28MHz in my poor antenna. Thank you.. I am looking forward to the next contest, good condx.

JG3VEI: Very good condx for 15m and 20m. I enjoyed to work many EU stations.

JH7QNG: 70 years old.

JK2VOC: Thanks for WAE contest! Very good conditions.

JN7OJA: This is my favourite contest! QTC rule is fun!

JP1SRG: 10 m band was poor but I could achieve my best score in this contest hi!

JW/DJ3KR: Even this singular multiplier JW did not help me to create the common pile-ups, I am used to when operating from Svalbard. In contest the European big guns are strongly overriding such a rare multiplier. The only way then was for me to search for DX, multipliers and QTCs. 7 and 3.5 MHz were not useable since midnight sun still prevents use of these lower bands at high latitudes. 28 MHz was only open for less than 1 hour into east coast US.

K0VSV: My computer failed to write the QTC log correctly so I can only claim the act ual QSO's. I did QTC 220 QSO's but have no proof to send.

K1ZZ/VY2: By the time we arrived at our rented vacation cottage on the beach, the contest was almost half over. It is always fun to work operators who can copy 10 QRQ QTC from a station running 100 watts to a vertical!

K2NV: Great Contest. Also had some QSO's from K2NV/VE3 while sailing Lake On

K4JA: Almost a million!

K5KG: DARC needs to get more support for this contest in the USA. It needs to be on a par with the ARRL DX Contest in terms of participation by US stations to create more activity for the European stations. Top scoring European stations need to be making more QSO's than the US stations!

K6III: Fun Contest

KE9I: Excellent contest! See you again next year.

KF0U: First Time I work WAE with my log program. Made a few mistakes with my numbering.

KJ9C/M: South Carolina: In driveway KJ9C/4. On road KJ9C/M. North Carolina QSO #37 G3ZRJ. Tennessee QSO #46 YT6A. Kentucky QSO #49 DL0SLZ. Computer died before Cincinnati. PC got carsick.

KQ3F: Comments: My favorite contest, and conditions were much better than 2000!

KW4DA: 10 dead, 15 Hot, 20 not. Overall a good contest, got a late start.

LA7MFA: I still do not dare to use CT to log QTC traffic, it is not fast enough. Hopefully I will practice and try this next year. I spent too much time on punching the QTCs after the contest, and I am sure this introduced many errors.

LU1DZ: Very nice contest, it is the best because it is always testing the operator skill. Was a pleasure to work the very good european CW operators!

LU1EWL: Best score since 1981.

LY2IJ: Thanks to LY1FZ for leting to use his QTH.

LY2OX: Just wanted to register in this contest for my colleagues not to forget my call..But it was useful as I tried to learn copying QTC's straight into keyboard. It was very hard at the begining and I appologise some guys due to broken QTC's but later on I got a charm in this and less problems second part of the contest. Anyway I left for HB9 Sunday morning,so nothing to do...

N3RD: Conditions were much improved this year as compared to 2000, which was a total disaster. Lightning storm passed right over the QTH at 23Z on the second day, causing a 30 minute QRT. Great Fun and Great Contest. Thanks, DARC!

N4AF: FB Contest - bad time of year. I would prefer that WAE contest NOT allow packet access to single operators.

N5PO: Would be nice if stations did not call you and ask if QTC while you are running a freq...Stations that are a dupe should not call.. Lots of fun and many good operators...Not very good band openings. Looking forward to next year.

N6AW: Had to QRT early due to QRM from XYL!

N6ZZ: Good conditions, especially on 15 meters. Some thunderstorms in the area this weekend, QRN on the low bands.

N9RV: Much better conditions than last year. Wish I had my 80m antenna up and was in better shape to be a serious competitor. I am very thankful for the EU participation in major contests and am happy to participate in this one.

OH0/SM5AJV: This was a part time effort during our usual expedition to OH0. The QTC traffic is really fun! 73 de Ingo, SM5AJV

OH1F: Finally an excellent propagation on CW! Unfortunately DX activity was quite low. More than doubled OH record.

OH6RC: Good contest but insufficient multiplier stations.

OK1DRQ: 73 and thanks for fb contest and hpe agn first place in OK land, hi

OK1FCA: AGN VY GD CONTEST, despite of HVY QRN on 80M and poor CDX on 10M, I set my personal WAEDC record, see you next year.

OK1HX: Condx very nice but QRN all the time on low bands. DX Cluster not used.

OK1MGW: I worked in WAE more than 12 years, in 1999 I finished sake of total failure in calling dx and taking QTC. I try contest this year again and it was very good traffic !

OK1MNV: Thanks for a good contest and CUAGN next year.

OK2ABU: Good contest. Very dear post taxes in OK for seniors, hi.

OK2SWD: Very good Contest and perfect DX operators. My age 63. I hope to meet you next year dear friends.

OK5SWL: Very good Contest and many stations. RZ3AZ had over 1200 QSO's. See you next year again friends.

OL4M: Es gibt nur zwei Phaenomene in der ganzen Welt ohne welchen ich nicht leben koennte: WAEDC und meine Frau.

OM2VL: My first WAE Contest in SO Cathegory. I taking part in this Contest some y ears ago as SWL OM3-27707. Thank you for the nice contest!

ON4XG: Fine contest as usual.

ONL383: Condx much better this year. KC1XX was back to his usual 599 on forty and not 449 like in 2000! See you in SSB and RTTY later.

OZ4FF: Happy I also wrote QTC down in paper as the CT log program wouldn't print them out.

PA5TT: Nice contest. Should have participated more hours.

PA9RZ: 15 m on saturday: wauw! WAC in less than 12 hours running 4 watts only! QTCs are too complicated; DXCC is what counts.

PJ2M: One of my favorite contests. I usually don't work up a sweat during a contest, but there was no air conditioning! Thanks to everyone who moved for me...

PP7CW: Glad to participation again. It's a merry contest. Till next year.

PY2NY: Best than never before, but using 400 watts almost all time. Anyway, very fine to be there and hope to be better at WAE SSB.

PY2YU: Great contest but big noise here. 95% of time on 80 m I had S9+25 QRM and the rest S9+10! On 40m is the same!

PY4FQ: Thanks a lot for this excellent Contest!

RA0FU: This was my first WAE contest. Had a good fun.

RA3XO: Whiskey Alfa Echo run Is not only for Big Guns Any Pistol can get pleasure Anyone can pleasure measure By receiving QTCs. Let this Test be as it is. Contesters activity conforms to sun activity. Nice sun.

RU1A: It's not important to use 3 el yagi on 80 mtrs, because there was very low actuvity on band (22 stns USA, 3 stns JA).

RU4WE: Good contest every year, tks DARC! CU 2002.

RW9SW: Comments: Strong QRN from storm static on 80m, excuse my bad receiving. But short pile-up on 10m was a good surprise for me and compensate one.

S50A: WAE contest needs some changes (looking through the eyes of very active contesters) since activity is not big enough. Watching packet spots you can find over 150 active multipliers over the weekend but most of them are on other mode or WARC bands. When new one appear on the screen the pile up become so bad that DX station usually goes away or QRT. QTCs are fine. How about 24 hours contest (Sat. 12 UTC to Sun 12 UTC)?! Good luck to new manager of the contest.

S56A: My coldest WAE since 1962, decent condx, ZL6QH on 4 bands, ZW5B with YU1RL op, P43E 10 QTC, OC K1ZZ/VY2 as 10m VE mult + 10 QTC in 40m QRN, K3ZO on strange 10 m late opening...

SP2AYC - SP3GTS: For several years, first time I took opportunity to participate full time in the WAE contest. It was great pleasure for me. See you next year.

SP4Z: It was wonderfull to some hours of relax and training. I like to get QTC very much. See you next year.

SP9NSV: My favourie contest but I didn't have enough time. Perhaps next year ...

SP9W: Good contest but no many times.

SQ4NR: Because of my software brakedown 8 QSOs and few QTC were deleted. I'm sorry! Tnx fer nice contest. It was my first WAE. I'm 19 and have got my licence in November 1999. Tnx fer new ones and a lot of fun.

T9/JR7HOD: Different country STNs could be heard, comparing in JA.

T94KW: This is great contest but I work very slow with my tiny straight key.

UA1-143-1: Difficult but interesting contest!

UA6LAM: I love WAE.

UT8IT: It is very difficult to work in competitions on low power. It is necessary to work only on search. And everyone give back QTC when poorly hear station, which aska QTC. Before meeting in 2002.

UZ7U: I very much regret, that has accepted the decision to use K1EA program in WAE Contest and wrote down QTC without a paper. More than 40 % QTC were lost, after I have found out my mistake. Nevertheless, the game is the game.

VK2APK: This was my 533rd contest. 10 meters was dead for a long time and it seemed I would not make any contact on that band. But finally opened at an unusual time. I am surprised that I made so many QSOs on 40 meters, but 80 metres was very bad.

VK2QF: Great fun tnx for the Contest Co-Ordination!

W0YR/4: Thanks for a good contest. I had to shut down about seven or eight times because of heavy lightning (blitzen) close by. A very stormy weekend! Too much QRN on 80 and never heard a single EU station on 10 m!

W1CSM: Excellent ops, no fills on QTC's. Any way to have QTC's in both directions?

W1QHG: My first WAE DX Contest and it was fun. Many thanks for the creative format!

W2UDT: Enjoyed the test. Wish I had more time!

W2YR: Bad thunder & lightning storm for entire weekend hurt low band effort!

W4AU: This contest was a lot of fun, as usual. I enjoy the unique aspect of having to send QTC messages; it adds a lot to the contest.

W4BQF: Love this Contest! Log program problems, but after that, really fun. Super Eu operators!

W4NTI: Sorry for messing up the QTC so badly. I'll do better next time.

W6XR: Last time I participated was in 1975. This is a great contest!

YL5W: Conditions for low power and so simple antenna, especially on 28 Mc, was not so good but contest was nice!

YO4AAC: QRP 3 Watts!

YO8BPK: Is for the first time when I worked in this very nice contest.

YO9HP: Good propagation, nice contest. See you in WAE-SSB from Oman, as A45WD...

YU7SF: This was my 43rd WAEDC-CW and my 2.321 contest log entry at all.

ZC4DW: Excellent contest, good conditions, except 10m poor. 80m very good.

ZL2AZ: Conditions to EU only fair on 10-40 m, nil heard on 80 m.

ZL6QH: Den WAE-Contest mal von der anderen Seite mitzufahren war ein Erlebnis und hat Riesenspass gemacht. Herausragende Signale aus DL waren DL2NBU, DL3TD und DJ7AA.
