This years CQ WPX RTTY Contest was just to test the new Contest Software “N1MM Logger+” and the new GS53b tube in the amplifier. Both worked excellent and my short time activity endet up with 311 QSO’s.

This weekends “CQ World Wide 160-Meter CW Contest” was a great fun at all. I did not plan to participate, because my Amplifier quit the days before and I had no spare tube for it. After tuning 160 m late Friday night I found more and more interrest to make some QSO’s just with the K3 barefoot. Working Europe was no problem at all but DX, especially NA, was a challenge and hard to fight against the QRO participants. Finally it ended up with 605 QSO’s, 51 DXCC, 7 US-States and 4 Continents.

Activity as seen on the Elecraft P3 Panadapter.
