(Araucaria) Fwd: WAE SSB PW7T M/S HP

[Luc PY8AZT]

Parabéns a todos os operadores brasileiros. Talvez seja a maior (em
quantidade e qualidade) participação brasileira no WAE.

Fico feliz que muitos participaram pela primeira vez do WAE depois de ter
assistido webinar Descomplicando o WAE. Portanto o objetivo foi amplamente
alcançado!

Abaixo, nossa participação. Pena que ainda estamos sem antenas para 80 e
40m, mas valeu o tempo que todo o time passou junto essa semana trabalhando
no sistema de 40m. Aprendemos bastante tanto com nossos erros, quanto com os
nossos acertos.

Gostaria também de agradecer publicamente ao Fabiano, PY3VK - agora também
PT7AK, pela enorme ajuda neste projeto. Esperamos sempre contar com sua
presença entre nós nos próximos contests.

Nosso agradecimento também ao Moreira, PT7ZT e ao Mr. Luke PT7WA que
realizaram quase 90% de todos os nossos contatos, enquanto o resto do time
trabalhava nas antenas. Foram apenas 35h no ar.

Abaixo números e um pequeno resumo da nossa operação.

Comments:

Great contest as usual, but the Sun played his tricks all the time. We
got amazing first day and frustrating on second one.

Despite the long operators list: PT7AK (also PY3VK), PT7CB, PT7CG,
PT7WA, PT7YV, PT7ZT, PY8AZT, 90% of the QSOs/QTCs were made by Moreira,
PT7ZT and Mr. Luke, PT7WA. Others were working on the new 40m system
project.

This time, the target was to increase by 10% the last year score. On the
previous week we got started the new 40m system project. The friend Fabiano,
PY3VK (also PT7AK) came for south Brazil to help us on the project and take
part of PW7T Team.

We had no idea the amount of work this project would take! Despite all
effort, we could not use the 40m and 80m antennas on the WAE SSB.

So, for the contest, we had to use a forgotten 80m loop antenna hanged up on
the 15m tower for bands 80 and 40m. Due the mismatch, we couldn’t use HP on
low bands.

Without antennas for low bands, we played around on 20/15m, mostly with
the Running Station and seldom we’ve got someone on the Multiplier station.

Our strong thanks for Moreira, PT7ZT and Mr. Luke, PT7WA than keep the
PW7T running, while all the others Ops were working on 40m antennas.

Setup:
80m: 80m Loop
40m: 80m Loop with external tuner
20m: 5 elements yagi @ 35m
15m: 5 elements yagi @ 24m
10m: 7 elements yagi @ 15m

Running and Hunter:
IC756Pro3 + Alpha 91b and IC756Pro3 + Alpha 99

Terrible low band conditions on second night. We could listen only the very
big guns (dupes anyway) and PYs calling CQ without takers.

Day 1: QSO+QTC = 2296
Day 2: QSO+QTC = 1031

After all, we all had a good time. Learning by try and error method, always
in a friendly environment.

The contest result was much more expressive then we expect without antennas
and few operators on the station.

We hope get ready for CQWW. Thanks for all of you listened for us and gave
the opportunity of one more QSO.

Finally, the antennas were up and running after contest, just in time for
next contest...
