This time the weather was hot so the set up of our eqipment was a little bit sweaty. Many thanks to Harald DH1NAI who supported us.
We set up two extra antenna systems for 2m and 70cm but unfortunately one of our two additional energy generators broke down. Luckily Matthias DG2NES brought his new electric car with a 88 kw hours battery and the possibility to provide energy as a source (V2L). Another challenge were temporarily breaks of 432 MHz TX due to high SWR, probably caused by a broken cable. Also we had a lack of operators this time, one or two ops more should be better to run all bands at the same time. 144 MHz up to 300 GHz (laser light) is big playground for only 3 1/2 full time hams. Over the years the whole „technical system and environment“ of DK0NA has become more powerful but also more complex. So it is also a lot of work and preparation before and after the contests – special thanks to all the helping hands. Nevertheless we are proud to claim the following results:
IARU R1 trophy 2024:
Another great news is that the DK0NA team won the IARU R1 multi operator overall trophy 2024 again. Therefore Michael DB6NT went to the HAM RADIO in Friedrichshafen to receive all all the certificates for our team. Here’s a picture:
Many thanks to our families, supporters and all the hams we had QSOs with and hope to cuagn nxt test!
