Our team consisting of PA3EWP PA2R K7GK PB8DX and PA1AW had great fun in the CQWW CW contest. We have pulverized our old Multi2 record (5,422,760 points in 2009)<\/em> and can look back to an almost problem free weekend. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CW operators are getting scarce nowadays, but with 3 full-time operators (PA3EWP, K7GK and PA1AW), 1 part-time operator (PA2R) and full-time support by Florian PB8DX (his CW is unfortunately not yet good enough for a real CW contest but he is working on it)<\/em> we managed to be active for 48 hours with 2 stations.<\/p>\n

On Friday before the contest we built up extra antennas that made the work more than worthwhile: The 40m 4-square, a 300m beverage and K9AY receiving antennas were a valuable addition to our station. Off course Multi Radio enviroment comes with challenges but Murphy did not visit us this weekend. There were mysterious problems with filters and a filter that emitted smoke, and just 5 minutes before the contest our N1MM network was operational \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A special thank you for Kees PA3BWD who came to help us with the construction and dismantling of the station before and after the contest.<\/p>\n

Below is a small impression of our contest.<\/p>\n
