ARI INTERNATIONAL DX CONTEST 2020 STATISTICS AFTER CONTEST

A very nice contest indeed this year. A lot of stations from Europe, North America and Asia. I operated CW only, with 100 W and enjoied it very much. The propagation conditions was poor to fair, for this reason i avoided the 10 meters band, in order to dont lost time. I operated a little bit less than 24 hours, at the end i was tired but satisfied.
Un contest davvero entusiasmante quest’anno. Molte stazioni dall’Europa, dal Nord America e dall’Asia. Ho operato in CW con solo  100 W e mi è piaciuto molto. Le condizioni di propagazione erano mediocri, per questo motivo ho evitato la banda di 10 metri per non perdere tempo. Ho operato un pò meno di 24 ore, alla fine ero stanco ma soddisfatto.

Lavorato un po’ di ore nel CQ WW 160-meter contest CW 2020, per 325 qso e 50 countries. E’ stata la mia prima partecipazione in questo contest. Sono stato molto sorpreso dall’alta partecipazione. E’ bello sentire i 160 metri così affollati. Rig: dipolo ripiegato e 80 watt. Farò il possibile per esserci anche l’anno prossimo, magari con un’pò di potenza in più.

I worked a few hours, less than seven, in the CQ WW 160-meter contest 2020, cw mode, I get 325 qso and 50 countries. It was my first participation in the CQ WW 160-meter contest. I have been happily surprised for the high participation. It’s nice heard the 160 meter band crowded. My Rig: folded dipole and 80 watt. I’ll do my best to participate the next year, even with more power.

WAE CW 2019 CONTEST COMMENTS

Il contest più interessante dell’anno è appena finito. Impegni famigliari mi hanno tenuto occupato il sabato ma la domenica mi sono scatenato. Ho operato solo per 17 ore e mezza, ma il risultato è stato soddisfacente lo stesso. Mi è sembrato che le condizioni di propagazione sono un po’ migliorate. Speriamo nel nuovo ciclo solare. Ho notato maggiore partecipazione da tutto il globo rispetto l’anno scorso. Di seguito trovate tutti i dati della mia partecipazione. Commenti o richieste di chiarimenti sono apprezzati. Potete scrivere un messaggio alla fine del post.

The most interested contest of the year is just finished. Family commitments kept me busy for Saturday but I went wild on Sunday. I operated 17 hours and half only, but the result give me satisfaction anyway. The propagation conditions seem to me a little bet improved. We hope for the new solar cycle. This year i noticed more participation from worldwide. Follows all contest datas. Comments or requests are welcome. You can write a message at the end of the post.
