          TOTAL SCORE : 7 120 910

Above is the raw score, as output from Win-Test.

We had very stormy weather in the week leading up to RDXC and unfortunately G6PZ suffered damages as a result. The ProSisTel rotator for the 4el MonstIR died a death and resulted in the MonstIR being able to spin around freely in the wind, also resulting in the coax and control cables being in need of replacement.

The team arrived soon after 9am on Saturday morning (after leaving at 6am) to begin work on antennas; the 4el MonstIR was fixed E/W and we made some changes to the lowband antennas. The contest was started with the tower supporting the 4/4 SteppIR stack lowered which proved quite tricky keeping a run frequency.

The CW/SSB QSO ratio is interesting but not surprising — we didn’t have any decent runs on SSB whereas CW was a totaly different ball game. The end result is that we spent too much time on CW, with over 1000 more QSOs.
