Napätie, precíznosť a dokonalá technika – aj tak by sa dali charakterizovať tohtoročné Mikrovlnné preteky 2006, which once again showed that Slovak radio amateurs are among the best in Europe. On the bands from 1.3 GHz to 10 GHz, it was fought not only for kilometers, but also for every decibel of power and every point to the final score.
V kategórii 1,3 GHz Multi dominoval tím OM0C s výkonom 50 W a 2,3 m parabolou, ktorý sa prebojoval až k stanici IQ1KW vzdialenej 919 km! Neuveriteľné číslo, ktoré svedčí o výbornej taktike a podmienkach na pásme. Na 2,3 GHz OM0C confirmed his form and won here as well – the gain of 5430 points only underlines his dominance in microwave disciplines.
Na 10 GHz Single sa presadil OM3ID, who, with his 160 W transmitter and 0.75 m dish, was able to cover a distance of 295 km to link with OK1KKL, recording no error in the log. In the Multi category, 10 GHz scored again OM0C, ktorý potvrdil svoju technickú aj operátorskú vyspelosť.
A čo nižšie pásma? Na 23 cm jednoznačne zvíťazil OM5CM, which with 10 W and 55-el antenna F9FT achieved a connection of 606 km!
