Band condx poor for the 1st couple of hours in SE VK4. Lots of
QSB. Picked up well after then including 160m improving enough to
work. My headset decided to fail and suffered broken audio for a
while. Swapped it out for the standby one and all is fine after a
bit of testing to make sure it wasn't a cable problem. Good to see
plenty of CW. 40m did not see much activity after the 1st block. |

Strung up some wire to get me on air on 80, very small back yard
here so did the best I could. seemed tough going for us in VK6.
Lessons learned probably better get a decent antenna in the air.
Back for more next year.

160m was great with low noise and many stations VK/ZL, was a great
contest kept me busy for 6 hours non stop.

40m is dead for this contest. Please, please consider making the
contest 80m only. let it be over 6 hours in 1 hour blocks, with the
best 5 hours to count. Plus, 160m is only available for full calls.
Maybe we should revert to two separate contests, 80m and 160m. The
need to reconsider is now. I enjoyed the contest and will always
support innovation. Thanks to the contest manager for your hard work
and support. Long may the TransTasman Contest continiue.

First attempt at this contest. Had great fun.

VK2EFM |
SINGLE-OP MIXED HIGH |
Had a great time, a bit noiser than last year. Lesson learnt - use
40m more. Strong winds at the QTH caused a few antenna faults that
had to be cleared during the contest

Was difficult activating from home with S9 noise last night across
town, so I was happy to get a couple of contacts and 1 ZL contact.

Number of stations down on CW but still enjoyed the contest in the

SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP |
Nice, low stress, friendly contest! CW only operation. Station
consisted of a TX-480S at 5W output, 40m switchable Y-doublet, 80m
inverted vee, and 160m 1/4 wave sloping wire. Thanks to everyone who
answered my calls, and to the Contest Manager for running the
contest. Look forward to hearing you in next year's TT Contest.

A good contest lots of storm activity so conditions were tough no
vk6's worked and 40m was dead for me so 80m ruled.
|
ZL2RX |
SINGLE-OP MIXED LOW |
Not enough activity from ZL and bands were very noisy here. A
struggle with 100 W and a wire.
|
ZL3VZ |
SINGLE-OP MIXED LOW |
My impression was that conditions were not good and signals
generally down. Very little heard on 160m and none worked on this
band. I was not able to spend the whole period in the contest but
hope the extra prefix added something.
Many thanks to the organisers. Will try to do better next year.

SINGLE-OP MIXED LOW |
Generally good band conditions. 40m appeared to shut down early but
it did open up again towards the end of the second block with good
signals from VK2 avd VK3 but not too many taking advantage of the
opening. 160m was very good all night. Thanks Alan for running the
contest.

noisy evening but worked ok

The TT Contest is always enjoyable, but this year was also a real fun challenge!
First was COVID lockdown preventing operating from a remote RF quiet location.
Next came 100+ kph winds causing antenna damage, wild SWR's and static build-up.
Then throw in power line damage & loss of mains just 15 mins before Contest start.
All good, Shack battery back-up was available, but after 90 mins of CQ's the volts were to low to continue.
Mains power was restored 3 hours later, so turned the rig & laptop back on & away we went.
Thanks to those who repeated their callsigns thru my RX noise & thanks to Alan for organising. |

SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP |
Operated portable at Bellthorpe National Park VKFF-1190 in VK4.
Radio was an Elecraft KX3 and antenna was a ZS6BKW.
Propagation was not favourable so the QSO count was low.
I did not have available my second antenna for 160m
so only two bands were used this time.

Tough contest with lots of local noise.
Appologies to the stations that called back to my CQ that i could
not pull out of my local noise. I know it is very frustrating.
