Last weekend i participated the first V-/U-/SHF contest this year. I was part of the DM7A
team which operated from the oremountains in JO60OM (Hirtstein). We faced problems with
icy antennas which made operation with yagies almost impossible. The 2m band was running with
a omnidirectional antenna over the whole night. On 70cm we lost one of the PA systems. In addition
one antenna system was out of order because of a defect preamplifier. Also 23cm appeared to have low output power. Let´s be excited for the May contest…
