DF5GOI participated today for 2½ hours in the #IARU #VHF #Marconi #CW #Contest and made 16 contacts. Conditions were not great and most contacts were between 200 and 300 km.
Rig was as usual for short VHF operations the FT-818 and an HB9CV antenna.

Given these circumstances, the result of eight contacts into four locator squares and three countries and a total score of 782 is still a success!
And the most important thing: it was a lot of fun playing once again with the trusty little FT-818 in less than perfect weather. (2/2)
The plan was to participate in the #IARU #UHF #Contest from the 1284 m tall Schauinsland (SOTA: DM/BW-008) in the Black Forest.
Due to bad weather (storm, rain) we had to cancel this plan and participated from a spur above the city of Freiburg instead. Roughly 900 m lower than planned.
While erecting the quad series antenna, one element broke and we had to use our backup antenna, a simple HB9CV. (1/2)

The shack upgrades really made a difference to last years performance. The new Q5 transverter performed well. My only mistake was forgeting to mod my ts590sg to be able to tx on the whole vhf band hehe.
