HAM RADIO and CONTESTING
In February 1997, I received my UHF/VHF license , and
in October 1997, I upgraded to the HF license. This, just two days before CQWW
SSB.
Not really knowing the magnitude of the CQWW, I decided I wanted to be on the
air, and I entered the contest. This happens to be quite an overwhelming,
and challenging contest to start with, but I loved it. I made over 1700
contacts, and almost completed DXCC in a weekend. WOW! What could be better,
I was looking forward to the next contest.
While I am quite a lot on the air, especially on
weekends, contesting is still my favorite part of the hobby as that usually
means pile-ups. With each contests my skills are honed, and it gives me great satisfaction to
improve my own scores, and sometimes that of others as well.
Nowadays, I divide my operating time in half between SSB and CW. Regularly you can find me in the following
contests:
- WPX, CQWW,
- WAE, IOTA, IARU, ARRL10 Meter
- and numerous smaller contests
