2+1 : contesting on a row

Actually, there're three interesting contesting on this weekend on three different mode.
On RTTY sure there's Russian WW RTTY, then on bpsk31 CDX DX Contest for celebrating Brazillian Independence Day (a nice way to celebrate the interesting day) and followed by phone mode on All Asia DX contest managed by JARL.
We have fasting days here, also we have no DVK so we do concern on the endurance (we don't want to break the fasting days due to the thirsty, because we don't allowed to eat and drink along the day since early morning til the sunset), rtty and bpsk31 are the good choices.

Leaving the my MixW demo for a long periode made me a little nervous, but finally I got my rhym :D
The exchange is quite easy and MixW do the best! We just exchange the CQ-zone number and Russian give us their Oblast.

After preparation for next day on the early morning, we have a 'sahur' I try to listen on 40m and hope some good propagation and voilla I hear ES5RY and RZ3AXX on 40 and with a hard work with my rotary dipole I worked them. Thanks guys.

Next was CDX contest on bpsk31 mode. Usually I have not much expectation working contest on bpsk31, the guys tend to make a casual ragchew on this mode, not so typically contesting.
Yes, I found this reality. A station called me and thanks for the call, but sorry Old Man, I just CQ for a contesting. So CDX contest left behind!

What's next? Hey this is Saturday? so the choice is All Asia DX Contest phone mode. I have no intend to compete this contest seriously, but finally I found that this AA Contest is so interesting. The exchange is our age, a little sensitive? No, from this contest I found truely Old Man. They much older than me but stil active on dx-ing even on contesting. Kudos Old Man!

The band condition is so quite differently with Russian WW RTTY contest. 15m so open and I found I got a little pile-ups from JA's on this band. See that AA statistic? It's very clear that 15m is so friendly with the phone mode! hi hi....

Next is Work All Europe Phone mode, an interesting contest with the QTC's feature. But, I'm afraid that I can not join on this contest due to Ied Mubarrak celebration at our kampoeng.
So, have a nice Ied Mubarrak celebration and have a nice trip to your motherland!

See you on the next pile-ups!

AP Sprint SSB 2010 : rise up your adrenaline!

ARRL-SECTION: DXC
ALLSIGN: YB2ECG
CLUB: -
CONTEST: AP-Sprint-SSB
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL LOW SSB
CLAIMED-SCORE: 306O
PERATORS: YB2ECG
NAME: SARDJANA

It's only 18Q's on 20m but stil got the fun. I know that it's hard to beat that t-shirt but as long as your adrenaline rise-up you stil got the fun.
Comparing last year's result with 30Q's sure it's not quiet happy, but joining any Sprint Contest series such as AP Sprint is so different.
Band condition, according to my loc and my shack, only worth on 20m. 15m is deaf! A little maintenance for my TH3MK-IV maybe is a good option.

Do you wanna feel your adrenaline rising-up pse take a look on AP-sprint!
And sure hope next time will be better!
Keep on contesting!

Joining the CQ WW/WPX contest is always fun.
I just focusing on 20m, low power and just want to have fun.

UK DX RTTY 2010 contest : let's get started!

This is my first contesting on 2010, specially on rtty mode. It's nice contesting as usual.
The category is Single Operator All Band Low Power, so the opportunity is so wide to work on all band.
And, I feel happy now, I see it looks grew on YB-land who active on digital mode, especially on RTTY!
My first QSO was with an active contester: E21YDP on 40m, and then....wow two YB-landers on 40m: YB1ALL and YB8FL, welcome guys! Honestly I have some doubt about YB8FL, I was afraid that I made some error; is he truely YB8FL or YB8EL? But finally I'm sure about this Old Man...then I worked YB8EL himself on next 20m!
It's seems that I have a lot of JA's on this contest. Only a few nice QSO from EU, VR, W, HL.
Due to the bad season I closed the log early and here's the statistics :

QSOs Points DXCC Dom UK
40m 4 8 3 0 0
20m 65 190 12 0 0
Total 69 198 15 0 0

Score: 198*(15+0) = 2970

Thanks to all station worked and also for putting me on the cluster.
Keep on contesting!
