Was playing around a bit in SP-DX-C during the weekend. Due to my location right at the German-Polish border there is no skip into Poland on the higher bands so all contacts were entirely made via Backscatter. Most signals were weak and I’m sure my signal was too, but Polish operators usually have good ears so worked almost all I heard. 😉
It’s a pity there’s only either CW or SSB in the single band categories nowadays. Mixed mode would have provided much more fun, i.e. more QSOs. Not shure why that was abolished as the category existed a few years ago. Although being SOSB 10m CW I handed out a few QSOs on SSB, too. Will see what the result is good for, PZK issues some nice contest awards, see left. 😉
