CQ WW WPX 2008


This weekend the clocks went forward to British Summertime and also saw a major 48 contest. The CQ WW WPX contest started very early Saturday morning and finished at midnight GMT on Sunday. Conditions appeared to be not as good as previous years but the bands up to 15 metres were quite active and there was plenty of exotic DX to be worked including the odd VK! Unfortunately weather conditions only allowed the beam to be wound up for the last few hours but we managed very well running 200w in sometimes very difficult conditions. The certificate for last years contest also arrived this weekend and is pictured above....third place in England 2007
