May 2005 UHF Contest

As my XYL was away for the weekend I was able to put in more time on the bands. Conditions were fairly average. 70cm was neglected in favour of the higher bands this time. 23cm activity was reasonably good, it was nice to work SK7MW by aircraft scatter near the end of the contest. DL3YEE provided some good distance contacts on all the middle bands. GD0EMG was heard briefly on 9cm but not enough for a QSO. There was some local rainscatter on 3cm but no great DX was worked. Two attempts with DK2MN on 6 and 3cm failed this time for some reason over what is normally quite a reliable path. Results are summarised in the table below:
