OE5OHO, the man behind OE5T - happy after realizing how good condx were... and proud of his 2001 crew!
Lars DL5RCW just got his CW license few days before the contest - shown reading my propagation map (one for each station).
The Multi-Station manned with OE1VBL and OE3GEA. We used CT and K1TTT`s Nettsr via an 100m long fiberoptic cabel strung up 40m a.g.l. between the shacks - wow!
This year we had a TS-850 and a TL-922 at the Multi-Station...
Thanks to Roman OE5MRP who helped me to install the fullsize 3ele 40m wirebeam I designed (using ELNEC) towards Asia.
Run-Station OP Thomas DH1NFL, OE1VBL and OE3GEA (l.t.r) - taking a quick look on how BCC-guys run a pile-up.
Two BCC members Oliver OE5OHO and Martin DL5RMH again united and always ready to boost the score...
Lars DL5RCW shows us how a "real" contester overcomes sleep deprivation - ;-) Don´t do this at your station!
Gerhard OE3GEA searching, identifying and nailing down another Multi to our log.
Waiting to switch OPs - Oliver OE5OHO and Tom DH1NFL still running.
Hannes OE5UNO was our handyman - caught him looking through some ham magazines...
Two tubes are better than no tubes - "Maddin" DL5RMH...
Run-Station: Lars DL5RCW concentrating and listening to Martin DL5RMH running at speed of light.
Sleep deprivation? Noooo, just "Maddin" looking real serious early Monday morning after the big "Hurray, we won the Contest" party ;-)
DH1NFL running, OE3GEA monitoring.
OE5MRP just came to tell the guys "Lunch is ready" but nothing happened :-)
For the first time we had our Multi-Station separated on the next multistory building - DL5RMH calling Mults
Left DL5RMH, right DH1NHI increasing Mults
Look how serious these BCC-guys are!
Multi-Station: FT-900AT, AL-80A, filters, headphone-amps, 1k2 packet-network between Run and Multi, etc.
Saturday Sunset - I should have known Aurora will close in :-(
The Big Team - left OE5CMN and OE5OHO right.
All BCC-members populating the Run-Station (l.t.r.: DL5RMH, OE5OHO, DH1NFL, DH1NHI).
Our guru OE3GEA and our OE1-external member OE5VBL running at speed of light.
I attempted to provide a plan (no comment, hi)...
Wired!! All those US-stations are calling me (OE5OHO) ;-)
A Caribbean team would take coconuts - we took...
Observing the Multi-OP(s) has to be done once in a while...
YEAH! We broke our old record from 1999 - time to (try to) open a bottle of wine (DH1NHI).
View of some Run Antennas during sunset...
The Multiplier Antennas - a DXPed.-proven A3S and a sym. fed dipole (center of Pic) strung to a 3rd multistory building.
The running station - OE3GEA front as OP and OE5MRP in the back keeps an eye on the packet-screen...
The multiplier-station - OE5MKM searching for the new ones
Left OE5MRP, middle OE3GEA and right our fresh clubmember OE5UNO getting interested in why OP´s call "CQ CONTEST" all weekend long...
While running on 40m I took this pic myself - looks like I shouted "fivenineonefive" ;-)
Another perspective - a better view of the stuff on the table (see the voice-keyer?)
Everyone needs a rest - so do I (I guess my Corsica Expedition T-Shirt gave our sig some more dB`s, hi)
Just worked a new multi - yibbi!
Our member came a long way to join us - OE5VBL is now living in OE1-land (despite his absence to HF he worked like he never paused!)
