6Y1V 2nd worldwide score in cqww ssb ‘08 (multi2)

Hi guys!

This is a very great news! Our score is the second in the world, after the Canarian station AO8A. We have a score of 14,094,054.

We thought that it wasn’t a good score, because the propagation on 10 and 15m was been very poor. But now we can say that it was a very good job.

I remember to all the team:

David KY1V, Dave G3NKC, Dave G4BUO, Martin G4XUM  , Manu LU9ESD, Frank IZ7KHR.

This is the extract of the official score:

My portable station in JN66BM

This is the first photo of my little antennas for my holidays in the North-East of Italy.

Location is Cortina D’Ampezzo, a wonderful place on Dolomiti mountains.

QRV operations from Dolomiti IZ3/IZ7KHR

I will spend 2 weeks in holiday. I’m going to Cortina D’Ampezzo, a beautiful place on Dolomiti mountains, in the North-East of Italy.

My location will be at 1500m on the sea level. I’m bringing with me a YAESU FT-897 with some portable antennas. I have build a multiband fishing-pole antenna and a single-element delta loop for 6m and 2m. I will upload some photos of those installations.

In case of some portable activities I have included in the pack also a multiband mobile antenna with a magnetic base for a mobile installation.

There will be many good locations for portable operations, also for S.O.T.A. (Summit On The Air), but now I don’t have any idea about these opportunity. I will consider them evaluating wheather conditions and every others difficulties.

In every case I will prefer activity in 6m and, if the propagation will be good, also in 2m. In HF I will test digital and SSTV modes.
