On the weekend of 25 and 26 October 2014, the CQ World Wide SSB Contest took place
Mike /G7TWC and Dave /GI4FUM visited us on Saturday for our monthly meeting. They are both on holiday with their families and took time out to join us for an eyeball and a bit of radio play. Dave delivered the talk to the club members and Mike did most of the operating ZS1CT in the CQ WW-SSB contest. Conditions were trying, Mike was somewhat shell-shocked by the propagation conditions. Mike who is clearly a seasoned contester had to juggle his family commitments with the urge to play radio. He did very well, working 177 stations and 6 different CQ Zones over a few hours on Saturday and Sunday. He worked 10,15,20 and 40m with 10m being the most productive. The most exciting contacts were the contacts made to Alaska and our antipodes, Hawaii.
Below is a summary of the logbook from the competition:
