Ukranian DX Contest

[Jackie Bosworth]

Hi everyone,

Me and Steve are taking part in the Ukranian DX contest today. It starts and 12.00UTC and runs for 24 hours.

If anyone hears us on, give us a shout so we can get some much needed points.

You can see the rules here:

Is anyone else taking part?

I will listen for you! ;D

Well we did ok, we only managed 191 contacts but at the moment we can only really work on 15 and 20 meters. So we lose a lot of contacts because in the evening most seems to drop on to 40 meters.

We have just bought the butternut HF2V verticle that covers 40 and 80 so we should do much better in the contests once we have had time to get that put up.

;D 191 contacts is still pretty good!

better than no contacts!
