One weekend two contests

Last weekend, two contests took place: the German Telegraphy Contest and the UHF SHF Contest.

German Telegraphy Contest:

Tom, DL2FAK, the holder of the call sign DF0ACW, asked me to participate in this contest because he was unable to do so himself, but the call sign still counted toward bonus points for the other stations. That’s why I participated in this contest for the first time under the call sign DF0ACW.

This contest always takes place on the morning of Germany’s national holiday on the 80-meter and 40-meter bands. Since the national holiday, October 3, fell on a Saturday this year, two contests were held over the same weekend: the DTC on Saturday morning and the UHF SHF Contest from Saturday through Sunday afternoon,

Here are the results:

Band    QSOs Pts
3,5        36      38
7           51       53

Total    87      91

Score : 91

IARU Reg. 1 UHF SHF Contest

The VHF/UHF Contest will take place on the first weekend in October, from 2:00 p.m. UTC on Saturday through 2:00 p.m. UTC on Sunday.

Since this contest counts toward the DARC Club Championship, I made a few QSOs here as well:

QSO on 432 MHz: 20 with 4 DXCC Entities:

 

I couldn’t make any connections at 23 cm this time
