IARU contest 20m CQing
2024-07-14 13:53 local time. Didn't participate much this contest due to other obligations but managed a few hours here and there, this is at the very tail end of the contest. Nothing impressive at all about this video.

2024-05-25 14:53 local time. Conditions were fantastic, k index more or less of 0 and close to no absorption over the polar paths to the west coast. This is a testament to how good propagation can be if there's little disturbance over the north pole. Makes 100w easy.

2024-05-26 09:49 local time. Not the best conditions to VK, incredibly difficult copy with the slight polar path flutter on the signals. IMO VK6T should have slowed down a little bit here. I'm fairly sure I got the number right but it wasn't easy, however, again in WPX it's a matter of working prefixes, not necessarily DX.

2024-05-26 23:42 local time, trying to rack up the QSO count to get somewhere near last years results... At 2:52 I mess up the serial number from TA2D after spending forever making sure he gets my serial number correctly, how ironic, and sad because that was 6 point multiplier. Of course I could have looked through this before uploading my logs and edited the logs to correct it but that would b...

      Lol yeah one of the more embarrassing moments for me, TA2D calling me on 40m, he was struggling to get my serial probably for various reasons. I then finally get him to copy and then only to mess up the serial I receive from him. Such a painful thing to watch, especially knowing that if I hadn't uploaded the logs I could have gone back and changed the logs and then uploaded them. Would that be cheating? Sort of? I uploaded all the videos here _after_ I submitted the logs for the contest, though. It is what it is :P

      It really depends on the aurora and the conditions, sometimes there can be auroral Es mixed with the backscatter makes SSB a lot easier, or if the signals are stronger it's a little easier although you need to really slow down the speech. Weaker aurora signals are very difficult to copy. Might just be my 3 element yagi :P

      Definitely! I messed something up though because the background of the info box is messed up.. I think I was able to fix it yesterday. There's some weird behavior when you change operators even though the skin is the same (you can have different skins per operator). I can try to send you the skin file if you want but I'd prefer to send you something that doesn't have the wonky problems seen in the video.

    There are fewer and fewer participants in the tests, our hobby ham radio contesting is in a dying stage, especially since those competing in one category do not have equal chances with the SO2R category; many, because of this discrimination, quietly left these “competitions”.

    • @StianEklund
      @StianEklund 2 місяці тому

      The number of participants in contests have been increasing, for WPX the entry statistics are readily available: www.cqwpx.com/stats.htm Therefor I think I could argue the opposite, however, yes, the SO2R is the only way to win the single op category these days, however many contests have many categories and overlays; in my eyes it's still worth competing in them. From my location & latitude it's more or less impossible to win anyways because propagation is vastly different than from mainland Europe. 73 DE LB1TI

    Hi Stian. How do you share the CAT port between MM and ARCP-590?

    • @StianEklund
      @StianEklund 9 місяців тому

      In this specific case I have ARCP connected via USB and N1MM connected to the RS232 (serial) port in the back of the radio. It's also possible to use VSPE (virtual serial port emulator by Eterlogic) to split the serial port but in general ARCP handles this poorly.
