Results OM VHF LOW POWER CONTEST 2021
Using low powers on VHF is a big challenge. However, this apparent disadvantage also brings several advantages:
- The setup can carry one person to the elevation
- Dimensions are also available, which are "concreted" during subregional races
- There is less interference on the band
Last but not least, it is mainly an opportunity to try something and have fun. Therefore, since 2005 we are organizing the OM VHF LOW POWER CONTEST, which regularly takes place on the first Sunday of August. In a year 2021 we accepted 13 competition diaries for evaluation. Dear OM3CQF is an excellent operator, it has an excellent elevation and a profitable antenna, and so there is no surprise, that he also won this year. However, the differences between the other, the third and fourth places could perhaps be expressed in one connection.
Janko OM8OM the second place was helped by an excellent quota, Chopok JN98TW. Fire OM5CM outstripped by a whisker. He used 17el.F9FT and twice the power of Janko, and after cross-checking the logs, his distance is less than 500 points. It's hanging Vlado OM1HI. Maybe with a slightly more profitable antenna (len 3el.yagi) or without one error in the logo it would be enough for third place. This is how the unpopular fourth came out, but still hats off to Vlado regularly participating in these races. Maybe he will do even better this year. As usual, we send the best price by mail. We believe, that too in year 2022 sa v OM VHF LOW POWER Contest-e manage to make a lot of connections and have a good time. Unfortunately, PA GI7B will be looking at this year only from radio amateur heaven.
