40&80 2009 un gran divertimento

Forse è stato il contest più divertente che ho mai fatto, certo non stiamo parlando del CQWW o altri con nomi importanti, stiamo parlando semplicemente del contest italiano in 40 e 80m che si svolge ogni anno il primo weekend di dicembre sotto l’egida organizzatrice della sezione A.R.I. di Bologna.

Ricordo l’anno scorso, avevo ancora il mio caro ic-706, in quell’occasione ebbe un tracollo verticale, ovvero andò in fumo la scheda di gestione delle correnti dei finali e portai avanti il contest praticamente in qrp e con la consapevolezza di dover buttare la radio….Poi le antenne erano semplici dipoli filari.

Oggi le cose sono molto cambiate, radio nuova, un bel FT-950, e soprattutto le antenne nuovo, in 40m una moxon full size autocostruita con le mie mani e in 80m un dipolo filare anche questo autocostruito dai fili al balun centrale 1:1 con toroide e cavo teflonato.

6Y9LM-6Y3Z-6Y7AM @ 6Y1V

The incredible David 6Y1V has done the Young Ham selection also this year!

This year he has chosen 3 guys to make the CQWW CW 2009 from 6Y1V SuperStation. After my trip in Jamaica I thought that CW was passed and of little interest for me. David, instead, surprises me with him keyer! He was superfast and the sounds of TI – TA were music to my ears.

Since my return at home I have tried the CW. At this moment I’m making many CW QSO, my keyer is my PC, I don’t deny it! But now I’m able to understand my callsign and standard reports…

So, after this, I’m not surprised by the choice of David! He wants to encourage the HamRadio among young!

I think that will be a great experience for these guys, certainly one of the best in them life. So a very good luck to Roger EA3ALZ, Alex OZ7AM, Alex RV9LM, you will learn many things by David, these will be a treasure for you!

Un ringraziamento a Nino I7GLO per la sua totale disponibilità, sempre disinteressata, per il bene del radiantismo!

A.R.I. DX international contest: chiarimenti

Nel prossimo fine settimana avrà luogo l’edizione 2009 del contest A.R.I. DX international, quest’anno sono state introdotte delle nuove regole, in particolar modo per le stazioni multioperatore.

Dato che sono molti i colleghi che mi stanno chiedendo la giusta interpretazione di queste regole forse è giusto dare visibilità a tale chiarimento in accordo con quanto già spiegato da Giuseppe IT9BLB contest manager dell’associazione radiomatori italiani (A.R.I.).
