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!

I have attached a scan of the certificate I just received from CQ Magazine.

Again, thank you all for your participation and a fantastic job.

Thank you kindly,

Thank you David, it was been a very incredible adventure! You are a great man, a great DXman, but also a great Teacher, you have taught me many things about the fantastic world of hamradio and contests! See you in contest GD!

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:
