This contest certainly was a blast, literally! At the Mount Nelson
Signal Station exposed to gale force winds, especially on Sunday
morning.
Sitting comfortably inside car working 2m/70cm. Used two handhelds
5W and two external antennas. Great to hear the 001s contesting as
well.

For some reason, VKCL was not incrementing the Sent ID numbers
instead seemed to use the number of years currently licensed.
There is one sequence missing from the log - 004. Log submitted to
confirm other contesters.

An enjoyable contest even though I only worked a few hours this year.
Pleasantly surprised by the number of new callsigns and also a few
old timers who've become active again after a long break!

Another good RD contest; conditions not overly generous in WA and
there seemed to be lower numbers taking part. All participants I
met were friendly and encouraging and demonstrated great radio
communicating skills.

Thank you for another great WIA Contest.
We tried rapid QSY between bands with only one transmitted signal on
air at any one time. The User Defined Contest Modules created by
VK4SN worked a treat with N1MM Logger and monitored breeches of the
one transmitter only on air rule
|

Would be very helpful if the Export functions were a main menu item
and not hidden in the log window. Might help to get more people
sending their logs in.

| VK2FO |
SINGLE-OP SSB HIGH |
Great fun. Once again I apologise to the many station I could pull
out of my local S9 noise.
The only good thing from covid is that there were plenty of staions
at home to participate in the contest
|
| VK6VZ |
SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH |
My first RD for a few years - great fun. The change
to allow interstate QSOs on HF is interesting, but this
favours highly populated states. Think there should be
a state multiplication factor - the most populous state NSW
has a multiplier of 1, VIC is 1.226, QLD is 1.573, WA is 3.060,
SA is 4.615, TAS is 15.092, ACT is 18.940 and NT is 33.146.
Now that would make it fairer, more fun and encourage participation! |
| VK3VB |
SINGLE-OP CW QRP |
Enjoyed contest. Felt participation was down on last year. Several
stations suffering QRM and unable to get contact over event even
though well over S9 here.
QSB was brutal on 40m. I had 3 antenna's to switch betwen and
randomly one would be 3-4 s points stronger.
Would love to be able to have a CW QRP category in teams - I think
this could be promoted well within VK QRP and FISTS and be popular.
thanks for organising - enjoyed the event

Generally pretty good conditions on all bands, most VK6's heard with
good signal strength. Great format helps to keep the contacts going.
Good fun using 100w and a couple of wire antennas.Thanks Alan for
running the contest.

fun.
|

Great contest, good to hear so many 001 stations on air. 80m proved
to be rather good over the duration of the contest. Live streamed to
the world with over 4000 views and lots of interested in VK
contesting. "You guys are so polite in the way you conduct
yourselves on air" was the comment I saw the most. Well done to all.

SINGLE-OP CW HIGH |
Had a few hours on Saturday night (in between doing some antenna
calculations) and an hour on Sundary afternoon to give out a few
numbers. Only used 160 & 40m this year - during the week before the
contest, a kangaroo collided with the post supporting the 80m
antenna feed system and took it off the air! Station consisted of a
TS-480HX at 100W output and a 1/4 wave sloping wire on 160m and a
Y-doublet on 40m. Thanks very much to all those who answered my
calls, sorry if I missed anyone, and thanks to the contest manager
for running it again this year. Catch you all in the next contest!
|
| VK4SN |
SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH |
Seemed much busier this year with band condx a bit better, although
QSB affected me often. I put up a 1/2 wave 80m dipole to give me
some NVIS advantage, and was glad I did as the vertical struggled
to pull in some signals. Good to work many VK6's across most bands
I Worked on average 43 stations per hour over 15 hours. CW
attracted Europe ops in the WAE contest in the early morning on 80m
and a small pile up hindered my VK QSO's. In the end I had to go
back to voice and leave the pile up wondering where I was.
Seems "VK Only" and "CQ RD" has no meaning. LOL.
Great ops on air, vy friendly. Thanks to all. |

Great contest. Would like a seperate RTTY category netx time.
|
| VK3TWO |
SINGLE-OP SSB QRP |
Had a blast.
QRP was most challenging on 160m, with most stations not hearing me.
Great reports for 5W otherwise.
Was disappointed several 'power stations' not bothering to check
multiple times with "Is this frequency in use?", coming straight
over the top of me many times, and other 'big stations' deciding
that being 2kHz away from me with very dirty amplifiers was ok
besides a QRP station.
Thanks to all for the many contacts, especially those in the 'night
owl' hours. Was a challenging but rewarding 24hrs. See you all next
year.

Portable Microwave "QRP" power levels as follows. 23 cm = 2W, 3 cm =

GHz contact would be the first time this band has been used in the
RD contest

| VK2MT |
SINGLE-OP SSB HIGH |
No low-noise operating while camped at a remote sheep farm this year due to COVID.
Suburban noise levels at home from S5-S9+, but certainly more comfortable & no battery capacity worries.
Seemed like more stations were on the air maybe due to the Lockdowns.
And for a nice change this year, no massive static crashes from storms.
Some good laughs near the end when lack of sleep was kicking in!
Thanks to Alan for organising. Catch you all next year. |

Log Checkers - This is the first time I've used VKCL and I hope this
has been configured correctly. I was unable to see how to include my
serial sent (this log was created post-contest). As it is, the
serial sent reflects the years licensed (ie, 38, as filled in when I
set up VKCL). I have included the serial sent in the comments
section, but this does not reflect in the Cabrillo output....sorry!
Please let me know if I can assist you in fixing this.

Excellent contest. Convival atmosphere and great to hear old and new

| VK2IO |
SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP |
Operated portable at Coolum Creek Conservation Park VKFF-1518 in VK4.
Radio was an Elecraft KX3 @ 5W.
Antenna 1 was a ZS6BKW @ 9m.
Antenna 2 was a 160m EFHW @ 12m.
Propagation was reasonably favourable with low QRN and no QRM.
Sustaining a run on 5W from VK4 was not happening so most contacts
were hunt and peck. Had a lot of fun in the contest.
