WAG Contest

Last weekend, I took part in the WAG (Worked All Germany) Contest. I like this contest because, as a German station, I’m of interest to the other participants.

For the first time in quite a while, I participated in the mixed CW and SSB category. In recent years, I’ve been QRV almost exclusively on CW.

I had the feeling that conditions were worse on Saturday than on Sunday, though that might also have had something to do with the fact that the contest didn’t start for us DL stations until late Saturday afternoon.

Here are my results:

I took this chart from the RRDXA logbook page because it looks better than if I were to put it together myself.

Here ist the QSO map:

As you can see, there is a strong directional bias toward the southwest and west this time. It should be noted, however, that as viewed from the antenna’s beam direction, the U.S. lies between 280 and 300 degrees. No stations from Africa this year, and very few from Asia.

The map was created with https://qsomap.cqgma.org/ADIF_to_Karte.php and the text was translated with Deepl.
