THE PARADISE ON AIR MISSION 1999 3B8/DL6UAA
![]()
Now I'm back at home and somebody ask me:
I'm in your 6m or 160m log? I can say NO! I never was QRV on 6m or 160m!
Mission results:
10.371 QSO's made frome 3B8 in March/April 1999
80 | 40 | 30 | 20 | 17 | 15 | 12 | 10 | SAT | SSB | CW |
144 | 698 | 575 | 2528 | 500 | 1944 | 948 | 3023 | 11 | 5729 | 4642 |
So sorry for the very low numbers of QSO on 80m and on satellite. But I have do my best on this frequencies.
BTW, I think the 20m result was a good one. Before I start the trip this year I've planned to make about 1500 QSOs on 20m, because last year there was a big problem with the europeans. So I have learned something from 1998 mission and changed my operating procedure (I believe into a better one). The result was more and better contacts.
AF | AS | EU | NA | OC | SA |
62 | 1349 | 6999 | 1823 | 52 | 86 |
Sucessfull this year was also to work more stations outside of europe. You can see at the table above ... do you believe that always, when I call CQ NA or CQ ASIA/PACIFIC some stations come back with this:
call europe, . ..- or . ..- ..--...
That's true.
