Poll Result : What favourite Logger

30 days are over, now here's the result.
I believe that it's just a sampling methode, but thanks for the reader and also visitor the blog to join on this poll.
This is multiple choice and all visitor could vote also multiple answer.
From 21 votters it looks that N1MM logger is the favourite logger for contesting with 6 votes (42%), followed by WriteLog with 5 votes [35%] and Others 5 votes [35%], but I don't know with others logger type what they used. Next is MixW 2 votes [I am afraid that visitors are not too much intereresting with Digital Mode contesting.....hi hi....] and old fashioned log: manual [I am afraid also that they actually have the computer but not for contesting or even for the radio-shack].
I am also confused that CT by K1EA, the most interesting contest logger on great event such as WRTC just vote by one votter [7%].
Last but not least, thanks again for joining the poll.
The new poll has issued and hope that you'll be the participants.

Have a nice contesting!

AP-Sprint SSB 2009

Do you wanna feel the real 'Sprint' Spirit? Take AP-Sprint for a shot....
I bet you'll feel your adrenalin rise up.
It takes only two hours on only two bands: 15m and 20m.
But this week end, according to the propagation condition, 20m may be giving the best opportunity for me.
Focusing on 20m after taking a pray; I got several station, but too weak. I need more ear for receive those signal with heavy QRM.
Just like other sprint, such as EU Sprint, AP-Sprint give us a special advantage. Contest rule allow us working everyday.... So we are the object of the beaming.
15m looks like a burial, but I could find YC5OUB consistenly, due to the his prevelledge allow him only on 15m could grab a good point, he give me 15 Q's on 15m. Good job old man.
I have ask some JA who previously worked on 20m to QSY to 15m but could hear nothing.....
After battling almost two hours here is the contest result :

Band QSOs Pts WPX
14 25 25 24
21 5 5 1
Total 30 30 25
Score: 750

Comparing last year's result is not much better, but could gain Q's on 15m.
Hope could grab one T-Shirt.....

EU PSK DX Contest 2009

It's almost 12 hrs left but stil got the fun on EU PSK DX contest this year.
Yes, indeed, sometime contesting activity on bpsk31 get something weird feeling.
For an example, you've just CQ-ing for only contesting but somebody answer your calling, but they propose to take some ragchew. You've wait the exchange number or some addition for the multiplier, but the only thing you got was, ur rst is 599, my name is....., my qth is..... etc. So you'll be on the bad feelings.... But on this contest, what I mean EU PSK DX Contests I did not find this 'silly' things.
I could manage my CQ-ing and got some lucks, beside sure on s/p-ing.
Running on low power it so challenges.
I could run only on two bands, 20m and 15m on the sunday morning.
Not so bad although I closed the log with only 40Q's. Stil got the fun on it....
Using MixW with EU Contest statistics :

QSOs Points DXCC EU
20m 32 104 8 4
15m 7 41 2 0
Total 39 145 10 4

Score: 145*(10+4) = 2030

See you arround.

3 in 1 Contest

It's quite a late report. Last two week actually there're some contesting activity. There're TARA skirmish digital, Hollyland Contest, FeldHell sprint, EU Sprint and the local contesting on 80m Kartini contest.
A detail plan I've prepared but; man proposes the God diposes, hi hi....
Ok, here's the detail report :
  1. Hollyland DX Contest. Hollyland Contest is quiet new for me and it offers also on single mode on digital mode, so it's nice to join on this mode. RTTY and BPSK31 is preffered mode. And the report was nice; actually I've got 7Q's but it worth only 4Q's; you see that it's hard to join contest on BPSK31 segment, you've made CQ-ing for contest but the answered is just looking for rag-chew.....
  2. FeldHell Sprint; just got 2 Q's on 20m. Actually it was a nice mode on digital contesting. Seems contesting on the fax mode....
  3. EU 'the stupid' Sprint Contest. It's very nice and fun contesting, and I've longed to join this contest but unfortunately I heard no one on these activity. Sorry EU Gang's I've missed this good sprint contest.
  4. Kartini Contest, the local contest on phone 80m and also on VHF2m. I've made 3 Q's on VHF [it's so hard contesting here on VHF] and 50Q's on 80m, due to the late starting.
It's look the busiest contesting on this week end, but stil got the fun.
Sorry for sad could not join the EU Sprint.........
