HB0/KM8W

CQ WPX CW contest 2013

QTH: near Silum @1400 m ASL. Good location in the mountains, but not all directions are open.

FT-891 and End Fed antenna for 40-20-10. When I noticed good propagation on 15 meters, I quickly built a dipole and could work 70+ loud stations from NA.

CQ-M contest 2023

The first day I parked on a tiny little spot at 1,436 meters ASL and tried both vertical and wire antennas.

The next day it continued to rain, so I decided to work a few more hours from Ruggell park and then go home to Milan.
